ABSTRACT
This report presents the design, implementation of cell-phone jammer. This jammer
works at GSM 900 and GSM 1800 simultaneously.
Users of mobile communication devices have dramatically increased in the last one
decade. This proliferated the need of a more effective and secures signal scrambler for a
cultured society. Mobile jammer circuits are used to prevent mobile phones from
receiving or transmitting signals. Mobile jammer effectively disables mobile phones
within the defined range zones without causing any disturbance/interference to other
communication means. Mobile jammer can be used in any practically location, but
generally are used in places where phone calls are disruptive like Schools, Churches,
Libraries, and Hospitals etc. Similarly with other radio jamming, mobile jammer sends
the radio waves of same frequency that mobile phones uses to block the signal. This
signal causes interference with the communication between mobile phones and base
stations to make the phones unusable. When mobile jammer is activated all mobile
within the range will indicate "NO NETWORK service. Design and study of Mobile
jammer is discussed in this paper.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
The technology being used by this device is very simple. The mobile phone
transmission is being blocked and interfered by Radio frequency which creates high
noise. The frequency being generated by the jamming device jams the signal being
generated by the cell tower. Mobile jammers block mobile phone use by sending out
radio waves along the same frequencies that mobile phones use. This causes enough
interference with the communication between mobile phones and communicating
towers to render the phones unusable. When the mobile jammers are turned off, all
mobile phones will automatically re-establish communications and provide full services.
And also the signal has been blocked, the mobile phone will show NO NETWORK
on the network bar, and radio devices will not be able to tune in to any signal. Thus, all
phones and radio devices in the 200m radius of the jammer will be having the same
situation.
Radio Frequency and Mobile signal jammer is an illegal device in many countries. It is
because the device is blocking the signal which has been approved by government
agency as a legal communication transmission system. In the construction of this
wireless signal jammer, the device will be able to jam GSM and Radio Frequency
signals and this can be done alternatively through a switch. A device designed to operate
within the frequency bands 870-960 MHz or 825-845 MHz and to interfere with radio
communications.
1.2 Statement of Problem
Due to an always growing demand, several solutions are currently under investigation in
order to improve the capacity of current mobile communication systems, among which
the exploitation of space diversity.
If uplink processing at the base station can be grounded on the availability of direct
information about the concerned uplink channel (by the mean of a training sequence or
blind methods), downlink processing encounters more severe difficulties: no
information about the downlink channel is available at the base station prior to data
transmission. We shall focus on that point, and proceed through several steps. First of
all, the problem statement will give us the opportunity to remind shortly how smart
antennas can handle space diversity multiplexing. Then notations will be introduced,
and models of both uplink and downlink channels will be derived, highlighting their
eventual similarities or differences, and the induced difficulties.
1.3 Objectives
1.3.1 Main objectives of study
Here our main intention is to block the signals of mobile phone using mobile phone
signal jammer for prescheduled time duration using real time clock controlled by
multism. Trimmer capacitor is used to set the time for start and stop of jammer.
jam a cellular phone. Most jamming devices can jam only one frequency.
1.4 Methodology of study
The proposed solution is in software, in which only an authorized person can access its
cell phone in an allocated time. To provide the required solution, we need to develop
frequency domain based on altered frequency band and altering device signal below the
range of signal generated by jammer through modulation to adaptively jam the target
region.
Heated resistors, Zener diodes and gas discharge tubes. This project utilizes Zener diode
noise method and also incorporates industrial noise which is sensed by Electret
microphones with high sensitivity. In
Common jammer designs, such as GSM 900 and GSM1800 Jammer.
1.6 Theoretical frame work
The control framework used in the study follows the input process output
relationship. Jamming devices are connected to the appropriate input module of the,
voltage source, LM 555CM timers and transistor while output devices are connected to
the designated output module of the oscilloscope. Input & output devices are processed
through the transistor to the desired noise signal of the output devices.
1.7 Scope and limitations of the study
Cell phones are full-duplex devices, which mean they use two separate frequencies, one
for talking and one for listening simultaneously. Some jammers block only one of the
frequencies used by cell phones, which has the effect of blocking both. The phone is
tricked into thinking there is no service because it can receive only one of the
10
frequencies.
The scopes of the Jammer:
1) It can restrict the mobile phone signal which 20-40 m up in diameter and 200
meters far from the transmitting station.
2) It only shields mobile phone signals, but has no influence on other electronic
equipments, audio equipment and human bodies.
4) It saves the electric energy. To jam a cell phone, a device that broadcasts on
the correct frequencies is needed.
Although different cellular systems process signals differently, all cellphone networks use radio signals that can be interrupted. The jammers
effect can vary widely based on factors such as proximity to towers,
indoor
and
outdoor

CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW
Communication jamming devices were first developed and used by military. This
interest comes from the fundamental area of denying the successful transport of the
information from the sender to the receiver. Nowadays the mobile jammer devices are
becoming civilian products rather than electronic warfare devices, since with the
increasing number of the mobile phone users the need to disable mobile phones in
specific places where the ringing of cell phone would be disruptive has increased. These
places include worship places, university lecture rooms, libraries, concert halls, meeting
rooms, and other places where silence is appreciated.
2.1 Mobile country code In Ethiopia
A mobile country code (MCC) is used in combination with a mobile network code
(MNC) (also known as a "MCC / MNC tuple") to uniquely identify a mobile network
operator (carrier) using the GSM.

other (Microwave connection). Each cell coverage area has one or several transmitter
that communicates with mobile telephone within its coverage area.
In GSM system the mobile handset is approach to mobile phone jamming system that
called Mobile station (MS). A cell is formed by the coverage area of Base Transceiver
Station (BTS) which serves the MS in its coverage area. Several BTS together are
controlled by one Base Station Controller (BSC). The BTS and BSC together form Base
Station Subsystem (BSS).The combed traffic of the mobile station in their respectively
cells is routed through a switch called Mobile Switch Center (MSC).Connection
originating or terminating from external telephone are handle by a dedicated Gateway
Mobile Switching Center (GMSC).
2.3 Base Station Center (BSC)
BSC is a high capacity switch with radio communication and mobility control
capabilities. The function of BSC is including radio channel allocation, location update,
and handover, timing advance, power control and paging.

CHAPTER THREE
MATERIAL AND METHODS OF CELL PHONE JAMMER
Cell phones are full-duplex devices, which mean they use two separate frequencies, one
for talking and one for listening simultaneously. Some jammers block only one of the
frequencies used by cellphones, which has the effect of blocking both. The phone is
14
tricked into thinking there is no service because it can receive only one of the
frequencies. A cell phone jammer is an instrument used to prevent cellular phones from
receiving and transmitting the mobile signals to a base station. When used, the jammer
effectively disables cellular phones in the area.
3.1 Jamming Techniques
There are several ways to jam a cell phone jamming device. The three most common
techniques can be categorized as follows:
3.1.1 Spoofing
In this kind of jamming, the device forces the mobile to turn off itself. This type is very
difficult to be implemented since the jamming device first detects any mobile phone in a
specific area, then the device sends the signal to disable the mobile phone. Some types
of this technique can detect if a nearby mobile phone is there and sends a message to tell
the user to switch the phone to the silent mode.
3.1.2 Shielding Attacks
This is known as EMF shielding. This kind requires closing an area in a Faraday cage so
that any device inside this cage cannot transmit or receive RF signal from outside of the
cage. This area can be as large as buildings.
3.1.3. Denial of Service
In this technique, the device transmits a noise signal at the same operating frequency of
the mobile phone in order to decrease the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the mobile
under its minimum value. This kind of jamming technique is the simplest one since the
device is always on. Our device is of this type. After the basic information of GSM
system, it makes sense to have information on the methods that followed to jam
communication system. In generally, the locking is successful when the jamming signal
denies communication process.

This will be used as the worst case scenario of the jammer in order to have maximum
jamming power
As we have a mobile near to the base station (worst case) we can conclude that this
mobile received a high power from the base station so if we want to jam this one, we
should have a high power of jamming to overflow its received power.
17
In contrast, if we have a mobile further from the base station it will receive a power
much lower than the previous case and this will be best case for jamming as it does not
need high power to jam.
Here in this part, we want to calculate the needed power in order to jam a cell phone
with in a distance of 10 m for DCS and 20 m for GSM 900. From the above
considerations we shall calculate for the worst case.

3.4 Parts of jammer devices
Jammer is the act of intentionally directing electromagnetic energy at a communication
system to disrupt or prevent signal transmission. The GSM Jammer is a device that
transmit signal on the same frequency at which the GSM system operates, the jamming
success when the mobile phones in the area where the jammer is located couldnt make
or receive call phones.
Electronically speaking, cell-phone jammers are very basic devices. The simplest just
have an on/off switch and a light that indicates it's on. More complex devices have

The term power amplifier is a relative term with respect to the amount of power
delivered to the load and/or provided by the power supply circuit. In general the
power amplifier is the last 'amplifier'. Or actual circuit in a signal chains (the
output stage) and is the amplifier stage that requires attention to power
efficiency. There are four basic types of electronic amplifier: the voltage
amplifier, the current amplifier, the trans-conductance amplifier, and the transresistance amplifier. A further distinction is whether the output is a linear or
nonlinear representation of the input. Amplifiers can also be categorized by their
physical placement in the signal chain.
Voltage amplifier This is the most common type of amplifier. An input voltage is
amplified to a larger output voltage. The amplifier's input impedance is high and the
output impedance is low.
Current amplifier This amplifier changes an input current to a larger output current.
The amplifier's input impedance is low and the output impedance is high. Transconductance amplifier This amplifier responds to a changing input voltage by
delivering a related changing output current.
3.6 Noise generator
To generate noise signal, we used the Zener Diode operated in reverse mode.
Operating in the reverse mode causes what is called avalanche effect, which
causes wide band noise. This noise is then amplified and used in our system.

picking out a signal at a particular frequency from a more complex signal.

CHAPTER FOUR
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION ON CELL PHONE JAMMER
The objective of our project is to provide the ultimate solution in any area where
cellular communications frequently cause nuisance either by loud incoming call rings or
resulting loud telephone conversations.
This was the initial circuit diagram which we get from internet, its gives us 900MHZ

frequency noise signal on simulation .But as we want to build dual band cell phone
jammer because of dual bands is used in Ethiopia .So we have modified the circuit to
get dual band frequency signal. First band = 900 MHz
Second band = 1.8 GHz
Mobile jammer is a device which disturbs the communication between the mobile base
station and mobile equipment by transmitting the noise signal at the frequency, on
which both are trying to communicate with each other. Firstly, jammers were invented
to prevent the communication between
overpowering the mobile phone signals and decreasing the SNR (Signal to
Ratio) for mobile communication.
The Modified circuit diagram is shown below

pin IC simply makes a noise. Its coupled through C4 [electrolytic] to modulate
the BC547BP transistor oscillator. With C1 set at roughly 1/3rd, you will be
close to 900 MHz by sweeping the C1 trimmer capacitor; we swing the output
frequency from 800 MHz to 2 GHz with the transistor and values shown. Instead
of a single Tapped Coil, we used two molded inductors for ease of construction.
Values for C1, C2, L1, and L2 are critical for the frequency range. We want to
build the unit into a metal box, add an on/off switch in the batteries + line, and
maybe even we add a LED. Connect an old 800 MHz cell phone antenna to C5
and C9 to 1.8 MHz Would you believe the whole thing can be built on top of the
555 IC itself when using surface mount components, and the lot will fit onto a
nine volt battery clip. Output is reasonably good, although the current drain is a
bit high, so a new 9 Volt battery will only run about an hour. The complete
circuit of the jammer was switched ON. The Cell Kill Distance is around 10
20 m.

CHAPTER FIVE
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION
5.1 Conclusion
In this project, which turned out to be a full success, we designed a device that stops
Phone ringing. This device could be used in places where ringing is not desired at
Specific times, as these ringing may disturb people in such places. The designed Device
works in dual band. It jams both the GSM 900 and GSM 1800 bands. The Device was
able to jam the two main cell phone carriers in Ethiopia.
The project could be ended up with all stages however test part could be completed
partially. Firstly, main logic and technology behind a mobile phone jammer were
determined clearly and this logic was based on a mathematical background.
We, as a group, learned more about the mobile phones structure as the jammer
Components are similar to its architecture. We also knew more about the different
frequency bands used in the mobile communication (GSM 900 and GSM1800)
By sweeping the trimmer capacitor frequency set can swing the output
frequency from 800 MHz to 2GHz with the transistor and other
components values.
Instead of a single tapped coil, we have used two inductors for ease of
construction. Values for L1, L2, C2, and C1 are critical for the frequency
range.
27
We hope that this project will be useful for the community where such
jamming devices are needed.
28
Some effects such as multipath fading which are not taken into account in approximate
calculation. After some theoretical part, design components were determined for a 900
5.2 Recommendation
According to our project result is not full success, we suggest that the student
(he/she) who want continue with this project, they should have more techniques
of jamming the signals, also in case of Integrated circuit (IC) use the one which
is capable for generating 800 MHz and above. Also use exactly components that
are in your circuit.
For all you want to develop this project you can do using micro controller,
ardinuo software implementation.
