ABSTRACT
This handy, pocket-size mobile transmission detector can sense the presence of an
activated mobile phone from a distance of 3 meters. So it can be used to prevent use of
mobile phones in examination halls, confidential rooms, etc. It is also useful for detecting
the use of mobile phone for spying and unauthorized video transmission.
The circuit can detect both incoming and outgoing calls, SMS and video transmission
even if the mobile phone is kept in the silent mode. The moment the bug detects RF
transmission signal from an activated mobile phone, it starts sounding a beep alarm and
the LED blinks. The alarm continues until the signal transmission ceases.
An ordinary RF detector using tuned LC circuits is not suitable for detecting signals in
the GHz frequency band used in mobile phones. The transmission frequency of mobile
phones ranges from 0.9 to 3 GHz with a wavelength of 3.3 to 10 cm. So a circuit
detecting gigahertz signals is required for a mobile bug.

1. INTRODUCTION
There are many incidents where the misuse of mobile happens in our daily life.
Examination centers have banned use of mobile phones. But the use of mobile phones in
examination halls has increased rapidly. To prevent these malpractices we have designed
a device to indicate the presence of active mobile phones.
Mobile communication frequencies range from 0.9 GHz to 3 GHz. A circuit detecting
gigahertz frequency is required for this device. A capacitor with its leads as inductor acts
as a gigahertz loop antenna. This device named MOBILE BUG produces a warning alarm
when an incoming or outgoing call or SMS are detected in its range. Its range is about 5
meters. It is a handy pocket size device.
2. BLOCK DIAGRAM
The radio frequencies signals are detected by antenna and the receiver section output is
fed to the current to voltage converter. Here the voltage corresponding to the input
current is produced which is given as a trigger to the monostable timer. The output from
the monostable timer is provided as input to the buzzer.

2.1 ANTENNA
A small loop RF antenna is used for reception of signal.
2.2 RECEIVER
The signal captured by the antenna is taken to receiver. This part consists of disc
capacitor along with its leads acting as tank circuit. Capacitor of value 0.22uF is used for
this. The length of leads should be 18mm and should be separated by 8mm to get the
desired frequency range of 0.9GHz to 3GHz.

FIG 3 TRANSISTOR SWITCH
Op amp CA 3130 (IC1) is used as a current to voltage converter with disc capacitor C3
connected between its inverting and non-inverting inputs. It is a CMOS version using
gate protected p-channel MOSFET transistor in the input to provide very high input
impedance, very low input current and very high speed of operation. The output CMOS
transistor is capable of swinging the output between 10mV of either supply voltage
terminal. Capacitor C3 on conjunction with the lead inductance acts as a transmission line
that intercepts the signal from mobile phones. This capacitor creates a field, stores energy
and transfer the energy to minute current to the input of IC1. This will upset the balance
in input of IC1 and convert current to corresponding voltage. Capacitor C4 along with
high value resistor R1 keep the non- inverting input stable for easy swing of output to
high stage. Resistor R2 provides the discharge path for capacitor (C4). Feedback resistor
R3 makes the inverting input high when the output becomes high. Capacitor C5 (47pF) is
connected across ‘strobe’ (pin 8) and ‘null’ inputs (pin 1) of IC1 for phase compensation
and gain control to optimize the frequency response.
When mobile phone signal is detected by C3, the output of IC1 becomes high and low
alternately according to the frequency of the signal as indicated by the LED1. This trigger
monostable timer IC2 through C7. Capacitor C3 maintains the base bias of transistor T1
for speed switching action. The low value timing components R6 and C9 produce very
short time delay to avoid nuisance.
Assemble the circuit on PCB as compact as possible and enclose in a small box like junk
mobile case. As mentioned earlier, C3 Should have a lead length 18mm and spacing of
8mm. Carefully solder capacitances in standing position with equal spacing of leads.
The response can be optimized with trimming the lead length of C3 for desired
frequency. Telescopic type antenna may be used.
Use miniature 12V battery and a small buzzer to make gadget pocket size. The unit will
give us warning indication if someone uses mobile in the range of about 3m.
6. CONCLUSION
The Mobile Bug was successfully set up and tested. It can detect frequencies
ranging from 0.9GHz to 3.0GHz. It was found to detect mobile signals with in a range of
about 5 meters. This device produces a warning alarm when an incoming or outgoing call
or sms was detected in its range. This is a low cost handy pocket size device.
