Mobile Jammer Circuit Overview

This document provides instructions for building a device called a "cell jammer" that transmits within cellular phone bands and interferes with phone signals. It uses a 555 timer integrated circuit to modulate a transistor oscillator around 900 MHz. By adjusting the trimmer capacitor, the output frequency can be swept from 800 MHz to 2 GHz. The components can be built directly onto the 555 IC surface and powered by a 9V battery, though the battery will drain quickly. The effective range of signal interference is about 10-15 feet.

Description

A “Cell Jammer” is just way of saying “Dirty Transmitter” which happens to transmit
within the Cellular Phone Bands. Reality is, the dirtier the better.

The 555 timer [8 pin] IC simply makes a noise. It’s coupled via C4 [electrolytic] to
modulate the MRF transistor oscillator. With C1 set at roughly 1/3rd, you will be close to
900 MHz. By sweeping the C1 trimmer capacitor, you can swing the output frequency
from 800 MHz to 2 GHz with the transistor and values shown.

You could replace the 555 chip with an electret microphone and listen to yourself talk on
a scanner, so the unit could easily couple as a UHF Bug.

Instead of a single Tapped Coil, I’ve used two molded inductors for ease of
[Link] for C1,C2,L1,L2 are critical for the frequency range.

You might want to build the unit into a metal box, add an on/off switch in the batteries +
line, and maybe even add a LED. Connect an old 800 MHz cell phone antenna to C5.

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, [if you are lucky].

The “Cell Kill Distance” is around 10 – 15 feet, ample for most purposes.
