 ABSTRACT

This project presents the design, implementation, and testing of

a Mobile Network jammer. Using 555timer Mobile network jammer
is designed. Which is used to prevent cellular phones from receiving
signals from base stations.
Cell phone usage at gas stations and oil refineries is
dangerous and terrorist organizations can also make use of cell
phone for bomb detonation and also the wide use of mobile phones
could create some problems as the sound of ringing becomes
annoying or disrupting. So, in order to avoid these issues Mobile
jammer broadcasts an RF signal in the frequency range reserved for
cell phones that interferes with the cell phone signal, which results in
a “no network available” display on the cell phone screen.

INTRODUCTION

Disrupting a cell phone is same as jamming any other type of

radio communication. A cell phone works by communicating with its
service network through a cell tower/Base station. Cell towers divide
a city into small areas can cells. As a cell phone user drives down the
street, the signal is handed from tower to tower.
A jamming device transmits on the same radio frequencies, as the
cell phone, disrupting the communication b/w the phone and base
station in the tower. It a called as an denial of service attack the
jammer devices service of radio spectrum, to the cell phone users
with in the range of jamming device.
1.1 Mobile Network Jammer
Cell phones work by communicating with a service network
through the utilization of cellular towers (or) base stations. Individual
towers partition cities into small sections called as cells. As a cell
phone user transverse the cells in an area, the signal is passed from
tower to tower.

FIG 1.1 Mobile Network Jammer

1
 Jamming devices take advantage of this fact by transmitting
on the spectrum of RF used by cellular devices. Through its
concurrent transmission. The jamming devices are wave to disrupt
the 2-way communication b/w the phone and base station. This form
of a denial of service attack inhabits all cellular communication
within the range of device.

1.2 HISTORY

Jammers are devices designed to disrupt or block radio signals, such as those
used for communication, navigation, or remote control. The history of jammers
is closely tied to the development of radio technology and the subsequent
need to counteract unwanted or harmful interference. Here is a brief overview
of the history of jammers:

Early Radio Interference: The need for jamming technology arose in the early
20th century with the widespread adoption of radio communication. As more
devices began using radio waves for communication, interference became a
significant issue. Governments and military forces began developing
technologies to disrupt enemy communications during wartime.

World War II: During World War II, both Axis and Allied forces developed and
used jamming devices to disrupt enemy radio communications and radar
systems. The Germans, for example, employed jamming techniques to disrupt
Allied radio communications and radar systems, while the Allies developed
countermeasures to protect their own systems.
 FIG 1.2 History of Jammer

Legal and Ethical Issues: The use of jammers is regulated by laws in many
countries due to concerns about interference with critical communications,
such as emergency services and aviation systems. In the United States, the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) strictly prohibits the use of
jammers by individuals or businesses.
Overall, the history of jammers is closely tied to the development of
radio technology and the ongoing efforts to both protect and disrupt
communication systems. As technology continues to advance, the capabilities
and uses of jamming devices are likely to evolve as well.

 CHAPTER 2
MOBILE NETWORK JAMMER
2.1 What Is Mobile Network Jammer
A mobile phone jammer or blocker is a device which deliberately transmits
signals on the same radio frequencies as mobile phones, disrupting the
communication between the phone and the cell-phone base station, effectively
disabling mobile phones within the range of the jammer, preventing them from
receiving signals and from transmitting them. Jammers can be used in
practically any location, but are found primarily in places where a phone call
would be particularly disruptive because silence is expected, such as
entertainment venues.

FIG 2.1 “No Network” Visibility On Mobile Phone

Lower powered jammers have a call block range of about 30m while higher
power units can create a cellular signal. The less complex jammers can only
block a specific frequencies group while the more complex jammers can block
several different networks thus preventing dual (or) tri mode phones from
switching to a different network, with an open signal. Jammers are able to
broadcast on any frequency and can interrupt AMPS, CDMA, TDMA, GSM, DCS,
PCS.

2.2 Earlier Jammer design
Mobile Telephone Service (1946- 1984)
This system was introduced on 17th of June, 1946. Also known as Mobile
Radio-Telephone Service. This was the founding father of the mobile phone.
This system required operator assistance in order to complete a call. These
units do not have direct dial capabilities.

2.3 Recent Jammer design

Improved Mobile Telephone System (1964-present)
This system was introduced in 1969 to replace MTS. IMTS is best known for
direct dial capabilities. A user was not required to connect to an operator to
complete a call. IMTS units will have a keypad or dial similar to what you will
find on a home phone.
Advanced Mobile Phone System (1983-2010)
This system was introduced in 1983 by Bell Systems the phone was introduced
by Motorola in 1973 and released for public use in 1983 with the Motorola
8000. Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) also known as 1G is an
improvement of IMTS.

 CHAPTER 3
HARDWARE COMPONENTS
3.1 – IC 555 TIMER
The 555 timer is an integrated circuit (chip) implementing a variety of
timer and multivibrator applications: It was produced by Synetics Corporation
in early 1970. The original name was the SE555/NE555 and was called "The IC
Time Machine". The 555 gets its name from the three 5-Kn resistors used in
typical carly implementations INS widely used because of its ease to use, low
price and reliability.
In astable or free running mode, the 555 can operate as an oscillator. The
uses include LED and lamp flashers, logic clocks, security alarms, pulse
generation. Tone generation, position modulation etc. In the bistable mode,
the 555 can operate as a flip- flop and is used to make bounce-free latched
switches, etc. The pin number used refers to the 8-pin Num DIP and 8-pill metal
can package. The 555 can be used with a supply voltage (VCC) in the range 4.5
to 15V (18V absolute maximum).

FIG 3.1 Symbol of IC 555 Timer

FIG 3.2 Functional block diagram of 555TIMER

3.1.1 The pin connections of the 555 timer are as follows:
Pin 1: Ground: All voltages are measured with respect to this terminal
Pin 2: Trigger: The external trigger pulse is applied to this pin. The output of
the timer is low if the voltage at this pin is greater than (2/3) VCC.
If a negative going pulse of amplitude larger than CCV31 is applied to this pin
the output of comparator 2 becomes low, which in turn makes the output of
the timer high the output remains high as long as the trigger terminal remains
at low voltage.
Pin 3: Output: There are two ways a load can be connected to the output
terminal either between pin3 and ground (pin 1)or between pin 3 and the
supply voltage +Vee (pin 8) the output is low the load current flows through
the load connected between pin 3 and pin 8 into the output terminal and is
called the sink current. Therefore, the load between pin 3 and Vee is called
normally "on load and that connected between pin: 3 and, ground is called
"normally off load" On the other hand, when the output is high the current
through the load connected between pin 3 and VCC (normally off load), is Zero.
However the output terminal supplies current to the "normal off load". This
current is called the source current. The maximum value of the sink or source
current is 200mA.
Pin4: Reset: The 555 Timer can be reset or disabled by applying a negative
pulse to this pin. When not in use, the reset terminal is connected to +Vee to
avoid the possibility of false triggering.
Pins5: Control Voltage: An external voltage may be applied to this terminal to
change the threshold as well as the trigger voltage. The pulse width of the
output waveform is hence dependent on it. When not in use, the control pin
should be bypassed to ground with a 0.01 uF capacitor to prevent any noise
problems.
Pin6: Threshold: This is the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator 1.
When the voltage at this pin becomes greater than or equal to the threshold
voltage 2/3Vcc The output of this comparator becomes high, which in tum
switches the output of the timer low.
Pin7: Discharge: This pin is connected internally to the collector of a transistor

3.2 RESISTORS
A linear resistor is a linear, passive two terminal electrical component that
implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. The current through a
resistor is in direct proportional to the voltage across the resistor's terminals
Thus, the ratio of the voltage applied across a resistor's terminals to the
intensity of current through the circuit is called resistance. This relation is
represented by Ohm's law:
I=V/R

Resistors are common on elements of electrical network sand electronic

circuits and are ubiquitous in most electronic equipment.

3.3 Capacitor
A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores potential
energy in an electric field. The effect of a capacitor is known as capacitance.
While some capacitance exists between any two electrical conductors in
proximity in a circuit, a capacitor is a component designed to add capacitance
to a circuit. The capacitor was originally known as a condenser.

FIG 3.5 CAPACITORS

CAPACITOR’ CURRENT:
The capacitor's momentary current IC(t) is equal to the capacitance of the
capacitor, times the derivative of the momentary capacitor's voltage VC(t):
IC (t) =Cdvc (t) dt

CAPACITOR’S VOLTAGE:
The capacitor's momentary voltage VC(t) is equal to the initial voltage of the
capacitor, plus 1/C times the integral of the momentary capacitor's current IC(t)
over time t:

Energy of capacitor
The capacitor's stored energy EC in joules (J) is equal to the capacitance (C) in
farad (F) times the square capacitor's voltage VC in volts (V) divided by 2:
EC=C×VC2/2

9
3.4 Trimmer Capacitor
A trimmer capacitor is a type of variable capacitor used for initial
calibration and recalibration of equipment. It is commonly mounted directly
on a PCB and provides the ability to vary capacitance for precise tuning and
optimization of electronic circuits. In this project we are using 30Pf Capacitor.
So we get the output so quick. This capacitor sets the required frequency in the
circuit.

Fig 3.6 Trimmer Capacitor

These are mainly used in a circuit to primarily set the frequency values of
oscillator, rise & fall times, latencies, etc. The Trimmer capacitor symbol is
shown below. These capacitors are available in nail sizes that can be tuned in a
certain range for their capacitance according to the circuit specifications.
Trimmer capacitors are related to presets based on the functions they perform.

3.5 INDUCTOR
Inductor (or) coil (or) choke is an electromagnetic device
consisting of a conducting wire wound in cylindrical/ spiral
form to obtain concentrated magnetic flux. The base on which
the coil is wound is known as core. In this project these copper
coil acts as inductors and antenna to transfer the RF signal.
The core may be a magnetic material such as iron, ferrite (or)
air.

10
 Fig 3.7 Inductors

3.6 TRANSISTOR

Fig 3.8 Transistor

A transistor is a solid-state, semiconductor device with three electrical
connections (emitter, base and collector). A small current flowing between
base and emitter has the ability to control a much larger current flowing
between the collector and emitter. Transistors can be manufactured in two
distinct configurations: PNP or NPN.
If, in the case of an NPN transistor, a positive voltage is applied to the
collector (and the emitter connected to the negative terminal to complete the
circuit) no current will flow unless a small current is allowed to flow through
the base to the emitter. (For older types of transistor a small leakage current,
uncontrolled by the 18, but dependent on the temperature flows between the
emitter and collector). The amount of collector current depends almost entirely
on the amount of base current and the first part of the experiment is
concerned with determining the extent of this dependence by plotting a set of
curves known as the collector characters.

3.7 9V BATTERY
The nine-volt battery format is commonly available in primary carbon-zinc
and alkaline chemistry, in primary lithium iron disulphide, and in rechargeable
form in nickel- cadmium, nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion. Mercury-oxide
batteries of this format. Once common, have not been manufactured in many
years due to their mercury content. Designations for this format include NEDA
1604 and IEC 6F22 (for zinc-carbon) or MN1604 6LR61 (for alkaline). The size,
regardless of chemistry, is commonly designated PP3-a designation originally
reserved solely for carbon-zinc, or in some countries, E or E-block most nine-

11
volt alkaline batteries are constructed of six individual 1.5 v. LR61 cells closed in
a wrapper.

Fig 3.9 9v Battery

These cells are slightly smaller than LR8D425 AAAA cell and can be used in
their place for some devices, even though they are 3.5 mm shorter Caine types
are made with six flat cells in a stack, enclosed in a moisture-resistant appear
to prevent drying. Primary lithium types are made with three cells in series.
E31 in 2007, 9-volt batteries accounted for 4% of alkaline primary battery sales
in the US. In 2008 in Switzerland, 9-volt batteries were totally 2% of primary
battery sales and of secondary battery sales.

3.8 On/off Switch

Switches In elelctrical and electronic system, a switch is a device which can
make (or) break an electrical circuit (or) we can say that switch is a controlling
device which interrupt the flow of current on direct the flow of current in
another direction.

Fig 3.10 On Off Switch

12
Almost all the electrical and electronics systems contain at least on switch
which is used to make the device On (or) Off. In addition, a switch is used to
control the circuit operation and user may able to activate (or) de activate the
whole (or) certain parts of the connected circuit.

3.9 LED

FIG 3.11 LED

An electroluminescent IR LED is a product which requires care in use.
Disconnect LED, switch off pulse generator, Long wires connecting LED with
pulse generator may be the reason for LED failure because of unexpected
voltage surges when switching on and off the LED supply.
The expected signal is not very big and it is important to text and
eliminate noise in the detector circuits. This effect can decreases LED emission
power and can be traced due to the LED resistance decrease during each pulse.
CW power often decreases with time due to heat sink temperature increase.

3.10 BREADBOARD
A breadboard is a construction base for prototyping of
electronics. Originally it was literally a bread board, a polished
piece of wood used for slicing bread. In the 1970s the solder
less breadboard (AKA plug board, a terminal array board)
became available and nowadays the term "breadboard" is
commonly used to refer to these.

13
 Fig 3.12 Breadboard

"Breadboard" is also a synonym for "prototype". Because the

solder less breadboard does not require soldering, it is
reusable. This makes it easy to use for creating temporary
prototypes and experimenting with circuit design. For this
reason, solder less breadboards are also extremely popular
with students and in technological education. Older
breadboard types did not have this property. A strip board
(Vero board) and similar prototyping printed circuit boards,
which are used to build semi-permanent soldered prototypes
or one-offs, cannot easily be reused.

3.11 Connecting wires

Fig 3.13 Connecting Wires

Connecting wires allows an electrical current to travel from one point
on a circuit to another, because electricity needs a medium through which to
move. In the case of computers, wires are embedded into circuit boards,

14
carrying pulses of electricity that are interpreted as binary signals of zeros and
ones.
These wires allow you to stick a wire or the leg of a component into the
exposed holes on a breadboard, which then hold it in place. Once inserted that
component will be electrically connected to anything else placed in that row.
This is because the metal rows are conductive and allow current to flow from
any point in that strip.

 CHAPTER 4
WORKING
4.1 Circuit Diagram

FIG 4.1 Circuit Diagram Of Mobile Jammer Using IC 555 TIMER

The circuit diagram of mobile signal jammer comprises of the following

components. Thus are

1. 555 timer (output of fixed frequency)

2. MRF 94751 (RF power amplifier)
3. Antenna.

Whenever a power supply is given, the adopter converts the

230V AC supply into a low DC supply. This low DC supply is about 5V. Then this
5V De supply given to the mobile signal jammer circuit. This mobile signal
jammer can block the GSM, CDMA, [Link], 3G frequencies. For this purpose,
each application (DCS/CDMA/GSM/3G) contains a circuit consisting of a 555
timer producing a definite frequency for each application. If the supply is given
to the circuit, the LED glows, whenever the SPST switch is turned ON and vice
versa.
16
4.2 Working:
Whenever the SPST switch is turned ON and the input
supply is given, then the IC 555 timer generates an output signal depending
upon the frequency used in it. Since the mobile signal jammer can isolate (or)
jam GSM, CDMA, DCS, 3G signals. For each application, different 555 IC timers
of different turned frequency is used.

The IC 555 timer present in mobile jammer produces frequency of desired

range, the output of the 555 timer is then given to the RF power Amplifier
[MRF947T1]. Since the O/p from the IC 555 timer is of low power, it is given to
the RF power Amplifier. This Amplifier strengthens the signal in power range
and then it is given to the tuning circuit. This tuning circuit is used for
impedance matching with the RF Antenna. So that the frequency obtained
from IC 555 timer with gets matched with the frequency produced by the
tuning circuit. This produces resonance, so that the maximum output can be
obtained from the Antenna.

The RF Antenna used here is an collinear Antenna, which is an

array of dipole Antenna. Which strengthens the signal so that it can be
transmitted to long distances. These Antenna are highly directional Antenna.
Therefore, the signals will travel long distance.
