CHAPTER 1
RADIO JAMMER
1.1 Introduction
A wireless signal jammer is a device which blocks transmission by
creating interference. This wireless signal jammer can be categorized into
the Radio Frequency (RF) jammer and GSM jammer. A Radio Frequency
jammer is a device used to disrupt or prevent communication via a
broadcasted RF signal. It is an RF and GSM frequency disrupter
commonly known as wideband radio frequency (RF) and GSM cell phone
jammer. Simultaneously, they can blocks all commercial FM broadcast
band (87.5 MHz to 108 MHz) and GSM signal transmissions within the
jammer's transmission range. The device can possibly block these
frequencies by transmitting a dirty signal (like noise) on the same
frequency at which the GSM and radio system operates. A Radio
Frequency jammer is a device that transmits a radio frequency signal on
the same frequency at which the radio system operates and the jamming
succeeds when the radio sets in the area where the jammer is located are
disabled. A GSM jammer is a device that transmits a signal on the same
frequency at which the GSM operates. The jamming succeeds when the
mobile phones in the area where the jammer is located are disabled. In
recent times, where bombs are being planted and detonated by GSM or
Radio Frequency signals, this device can be at an advantage by jamming
the signals required for the detonation of the bomb.
Presently, 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 the solution to these annoying and disrupting noises is to
install a device which can block the signal transmission from mobile
phones and radio sets and thus, disrupt the triggering of bombs by these
wireless signals.
1.2 Background
The technology being used by this device is very simple. The mobile
phone transmission is being blocked and interfered by RF which creates
high noise. The frequency being generated by the jamming device jams
the signal being generated by the cell tower (as illustrated in figure 1.1
below). When 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 into any signal. A GSM jammer transmits on the same airwaves
that cell phones do. When the jammer is activated, it is able to disrupt the
signal between the cell phone and the nearest tower. Because the GSM
jammer and the cell phone use the same frequency, they effectively
cancel the other signal. Thus, all phones and radio devices in the 200m
radius of the jammer will be having the same situation. Radio Frequency
(RF) 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. Cell
phones are everywhere these days. To the Cellular Telecommunications
and Internet Association, almost 195 million people in the United States
had cell-phone service in October 2005. And cell phones are even more
ubiquitous in Europe. According to the National Communications
Commission (NCC) in Nigeria, “The manufacture, importation, sale, or
offer for sale, of devices designed to block or jam wireless transmission is
prohibited”. The reason I am developing this device is for educational
purpose only. This device was developed and tested in this report just for
Final Year Project presentation. There is no intention of manufacturing or
selling such device in Nigeria or elsewhere.

The block diagram in Fig. 1.2 below gives a pictorial representation of
the working principle of a wireless signal jammer -
Figure 1.2 : Working principle of wireless signal jammer
Fig. 1.2, the jamming device jams cell phones and radio sets within the
range of cell towers 1 and 2. The cell tower 1, 2, 3 and 4 transmits signals
which can be received by GSM or radio sets. The jamming device is
placed in-between cell towers 1 and 2 and thus produces a signal which is
at the same frequency being operated /transmitted by the cell tower. It can
be said that the resultant of the signals is zero. From Fig. 1.2, the sending

object is the jamming device and the target object is the cell towers.
However, mobile phones placed within the range of cell towers 3 and 4
will not be jammed due to the fact that they are not within the range of
the jamming device.
1.3 Problem
Statement Due to the increasing sophistication and high technology, most
people are using mobile phones, and also due to the need for man to stay
updated with his environment, the use of radio is also in wide use. Mobile
phones have become a very important communication tool today. With
the use of the mobile phones everywhere, it becomes annoying device
while working, studying, praying and many more. Modern technology
has contributed to the sophistication of bombs which are being triggered
by GSM and Radio signals. Wireless mobile jammer can be placed in
schools, mosque, and conference hall, meeting rooms, library and many
more places which need quiet and peaceful environment. This device will
block the transmission of Radio and GSM signals.
In the construction of this wireless signal jammer, the device will be
able to jam GSM and Radio Frequency (RF) signals and this can be done
alternatively through a switch. The radio receiver jammer is also sub-
divided into the Amplitude Modulated (AM) signal jammer and the
Frequency Modulated (FM) Signal jammer.
1.4 Objectives
The Development of Wireless Signal Jammer for Security Application
objective is:
To design Radio Frequency (RF),
Intermediate Frequency (IF), and Power Supply circuit.
To construct the Development of Wireless Signal Jammer
for Security Application’s circuit.
To construct the development of wireless signal jammer for
security application’s circuit.
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 5
To simulate Intermediate Frequency (IF) section circuit. To
block mobile phones transmission by creating interference to
block amplitude modulated and frequency modulated signal
transmission by creating interference within its range.
Scope of Project /Limitation
This project only focuses on blocking the signal transmission of GSM900
which is the range between 935 to 960 MHz. This is because the
components are hard to find in Nigeria for the GSM1800 frequency range
between 1805 to 1880 MHz the components for GSM1800 are also very
expensive compared to GSM900.
The second limitations of the project are, the device only can block
three main operators which are ETISALAT, MTN and GLOBACOM.
This is because, the lines are only for Nigerian users and the frequency
band range is between 935 to 960 MHz. These requirements fulfil the
GSM900 specifications. The third limitation is that for reliability of the
jammer, a Radio Frequency amplifier should be incorporated but the
components required for this are difficult to find in Nigeria.
1.5 Summary
This project is mainly intended to prevent the usage of mobile phones in
places inside it coverage without interfering with communication
channels outside it range, thus providing a cheap and reliable method for
blocking mobile communication in the required restricted area only.
Although we must be aware of the fact that nowadays lot of mobile
phones can easily negotiate the jammer effect are available and therefore
advance measures should be taken to jam such type of devices.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
This chapter will discuss more about all of the information related to the
project. It discusses about the previous history and the present work about
my project. The literature review in this paper is based on Internet,
journal, books, and articles.
2.2 History of RF/ GSM jammer
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.
2.3 Operation
Jamming devices overpower the cell phone by transmitting a signal on
the same frequency as the cell phone and at a high enough power that the
two signals collide and cancel each other out. Cell phones are designed to
add power if they experience low-level interference, so the jammer must
recognise and match the power increase from the phone. 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
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 7
because it can receive only one of the frequencies. Less complex devices
block only one group of frequencies, while sophisticated jammers can
block several types of networks at once to head off dual- mode or trimode
phones that automatically switch among different network types to find
an open signal. Some of the high-end devices block all frequencies at
once and others can be tuned to specific frequencies.
To jam a cell phone, all you need is a device that broadcasts on the
correct frequencies. Although different cellular systems process signals
differently, all cell phone networks use radio signals that can be
interrupted. GSM, used in digital cellular operates in the 900-MHz and
1800-MHz bands in Europe and Asia and in the 1900-MHz (sometimes
referred to as 1.9-GHz) band in the United State. Old- fashioned analogue
cell phones and today’s digital devices are equally susceptible to
jamming. Disrupting a cell phone is the same as jamming any other type
of radio communication. A cell phone works by communicating with its
service network through a cell tower or base station. Cell towers divide a
city into small areas, or 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 frequency as the cell
phone, which is 900MHz, thereby disrupting the communication between
the phone and the cell-phone base station in the town. This is called a
denial-of-service attack. The jammer denies service of the radio spectrum
to the cell phone users within range of the jamming device. Older
jammers sometimes were limited to working on phones using only
analogue or older digital mobile phone standards. Newer models such as
the double and triple band jammers can block all widely used systems and
are even very effective against newer phones which hop to different
frequencies and systems when interfered with. As the dominant network
technology and frequencies used mobile phones vary worldwide, some
work only in specific regions such as Europe or North America. The
power of the jammer’s effect can vary widely based on factors such as
proximity to towers, indoor and outdoor settings, presence of buildings
and landscape, eve temperature and humidity play a role. There are
concerns that crudely designed jammers may disrupt the functioning of
medical devices such as pacemakers. However, like cell phones, most of
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 8
the devices in common use operate at low enough power output (less than
one watt) to avoid causing any problems.
2.4 Previous Work
The rapid proliferation of mobile phones at the beginning of the 21st
century to near ubiquitous/ever present status eventually raised problems
such as their potential use to invade privacy or contribute to rampant and
egregious academic cheating. In addition public backlash was growing
against the intrusive disruption cell phones introduced in daily life. While
older analogue mobile phones often suffered from chronically poor
reception and could even be disconnected by simple interference such as
high frequency noise, increasingly sophisticated digital phones have led
to more elaborate counters. Mobile phone jamming devices are an
alternative to more expensive measures against mobile phones, such as
Faraday cages, which are mostly suitable as built in protection for
structures. They were originally developed for law enforcement and the
military to interrupt communications by criminals and terrorists. Some
were also designed to foil the use of certain remotely detonated
explosives. The civilian applications were apparent, so over time many
companies originally contracted to design jammers for government use
switched over to sell these devices to private entities. Since then, there
has been a slow but steady increase in their purchase and use, especially
in major metropolitan areas.
A rundown of the history of mobile phones is as below:
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.
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.
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 9
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.
2.5 Present Work
The previous research that related to Mobile Phone Jammer is widely
used in United Kingdom. There is no company in Nigeria that provides
these mobile phone jammers. This project if implemented in the
mosque/church will help avoid any disruptive while in the mosques.
People who are bringing their mobile phones inside the mosque will have
the phone signal jammed, thus, detecting no signal. This Mobile Phone
Jammer is using GSM to jam the frequencies.
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) GSM is an acronym
for Global System for Mobile communications. It accounts for about 70%
of the global mobile market. GSM uses a variation of time division
multiple access (TDMA) and is the most widely used of the three digital
wireless telephone technologies (TDMA, GSM, and CDMA).
2.6 How a GSM Jammer works
Cell phones communicate with a service network through cell towers.
Cell towers are placed in specific places to provide service to small areas.
As a cell phone is moved between these areas, the towers pass the signals.
A GSM jammer transmits on the same airwaves that cell phones do.
When the jammer is activated, it is able to disrupt the signal between the
cell phone and the nearest tower. Because the GSM jammer and the cell
phone use the same frequency, they effectively cancel the other signal.
2.7 How GSM Jammers are made
GSM jammers are usually simple devices with typically only a switch to
turn it on and off, a light to show that it is working and an external
antenna to send the signal. If the jammer is more sophisticated, it might
include controls to set the jamming for varied frequencies or strengths.
Small GSM jammers are usually powered by batteries. Often, the
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 10
batteries are even the same as cell phone batteries. Larger GSM jammers
are electrically powered.
2.8 GSM Jammer Range
GSM jammers typically have a range of between 50 and 80 feet. This
means that they will only successfully jam cell phones that are within this
range. As soon as the cell phone travels out of range, the signal will
return and you can again use the phone. More sophisticated cell phone
jammers might have larger ranges, typically associated with higher power
(wattage) jammers.
2.9 Radio Frequency Jammer Uses
Some buildings, businesses, offices and churches are now beginning to
utilize strong Radio Frequency jammer equipment that are mounted on a
wall or a ceiling. These Radio Frequency jammers are generally housed
in small metal boxes and are quite inconspicuous. Radio Frequency
jammers like this can effectively make cell phone use impossible within
the building.
This is also of high importance in the provision of adequate security, by
disrupting network signals required to detonate bombs and other
explosives.
2.10 Radio Frequency Jammer Evolution
When cell phone Radio Frequency jammers first hit the market,
consumers didn’t have many options to choose from. The available units
were typically brief cased sized or larger, and could be difficult to carry
around. Today, however, you will find many more cell phone Radio
Frequency jammer options available, including some units that are small
enough to fit within the palm of your hand.
One of the great aspects of having a small cell phone Radio frequency
jammer is the fact that you can carry one with you wherever you go.
The questions below will justify the use of Radio Frequency jammers:
• Have you ever been caught in line at a fast food restaurant behind
someone that won’t turn off his cell phone and place his order?
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 11
• Have you ever been caught in your morning bus commute, being forced
to listen to every detail of last night’s escapades from one of the other
commuters?
• Have you ever gone to see a film, only to be distracted by the narration
into the cell phone by one of the other patrons?
Evidently, one will appreciate the thought of having a small cell phone
Radio Frequency jammer that you can activate whenever you like.
When you use your personal Radio Frequency jammer, you will enjoy…
• Instant peace and quiet.
• Faster processing in lines when you are behind a cell phone user.
• The film with its original dialogue.
• Perfect rest of mind and a reduction in risk of being exposed to bombs
and other Radio Frequency controlled explosives.
Although the range of a portable or pocket sized cellular phone Radio
Frequency jammer is not as broad as larger fixed models, they are large
enough to help you bring peace and quiet to your personal space.

CHAPTER 3
METHODOLOGY
3.1 Introduction
This chapter explains in detail the methodology and components of this
final year project report. Each part and component that has been selected
has as its own purpose mostly focused on functionality and low cost. In
this chapter also, the technical plan, analysis and also the specifications
are being explained.
3.2 Definition of Methodology
Methodology is defined as:
i. "The analysis of the principles of methods, rules, and postulates
employed by a discipline".
ii. "The systematic study of methods that are, can be, or have been
applied within a discipline".
iii. "a particular procedure or set of procedures" .
3.3 Project Overview
This section will briefly explain about the complete device, components
used, block diagram and flow chart, design and equipments being used.
This device will operate only using the hardware.
3.4 Frequency Band
It is very important to choose the frequency to block. Basically, the
mobile jammer will transmit at the same frequency as the mobile signal
frequency at the base station. This device was design to block the
downlink transmission because the frequency required to be blocked is a
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 13
Very High Frequency (VHF). In this case, the device uses GSM900 to
block in which the frequency is in range 935 to 960 MHz.
3.5 :System Block Diagram
Figure 3.1: System Block Diagram
Figure 3.1 shows the systems block diagram where the power supply
energizes the local oscillator for GSM and Radio receiver. The frequency
generated by the local oscillator (s) then mix with the frequency at the IF
section and this produces two RF, one for GSM and one for radio
receiver, and thus jams the GSM/ radio receiver signal to produce noise.
The system flow chart shows that when the power is ON, the supply will
go into triangular wave generator and noise generator. The two signals
will be mixed in the mixer so that the signal will be a noise. Then the
signal will be transferred to the clamper for achieving the desired voltage
to VCO. Then the signal will then go through the VCO at the RF section
after being amplified, and will then interfere with the mobile signal. This
system flow chart can be seen as being applied to both GSM and radio
frequency receiver, with considerable difference in operating frequency.

3.5.1 Power Supply
From figure 3.2, it shows that the device needs supply to operate the
system. Figure 3.3 shows the circuit diagram and shows the PCB design
for the power supply circuit. The operation of power supply is as shown:
Figure 3.2: Power Supply Circuit Diagram
Figure 3.3: Transformer 9 Volts
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 15
Figure 3.3 shows the transformer which transforms 220V AC to other
levels of voltage. Its functions are outlined below:
i. Rectification: Convert the AC voltage to DC voltage.
ii. Filtering: “Eliminate the noise” so that a constant DC voltage is
produced. This filter is just a large capacitor used to minimize the ripple
in the output.
iii. Voltage Regulation: It provides the desired DC voltage.
3.5.2 Intermediate Frequency Section (IF)
Intermediate Frequency section is the section where the signal is produce
to the Radio Frequency section (RF). IF section is the frequency tuning
section which processes the triangular wave mixed with noise signal to
sweep the Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). The IF section consists
of four main parts which are:
a) Triangular Wave Generator: To tune the VCO in the RF section.
b) Noise Generator: To generate output noise.
c) Mixer: To mix the triangular signal with the noise signal.
d) Clamper: To reduce the desired voltage for VCO.
3.5.3 Triangular Wave Generator
Figure 3.4: Triangular Wave Generator Circuit Diagram
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 16
Triangular wave generator is used to sweep the tuning frequency to the
Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). It will sweep the desired frequency
range to cover the downlink frequency which is 935 to 960 MHz where
this is the frequency range that needed to block the transmission for
GSM. 555 timer IC was used and operates in a stable mode to generate
the sweeping signal to the VCO. The output frequency for triangular
wave generator is 110 kHz.
3.5.4 Noise Generator
Figure 3.5 is the circuit diagram of the Noise Generator. Without noise,
the output of the VCO is just an un-modulated sweeping RF carrier. Due
to this, it is required to mix the triangular signal and noise (Frequency
Modulated (FM) modulating the RF carrier with noise). To generate the
noise signal, zener diode be used in reverse mode. This is because;
operating in the reverse mode will cause avalanche effect. Avalanche
effect in this stage means it will create a wide band noise. Then the noise
will be amplified. There are two stages where the noise will be amplified
which is NOISE GENERATR .
Figure 3.5: Noise generator

3.5.5 Clamper
Figure 3.6: Clamper Circuit Diagram
Clamper is a circuit where capacitor is connected in series with resistor
and diode. The circuit is been shown in Figure 3.6. The input of VCO
must be bounded from 0 to 3.5 V. This is the reason why clamper being
used. The clamper being used to achieve the desire voltage been needed
for VCO.
3.5.6 Radio Frequency Section (RF)
Radio Frequency section is the most important part in this device where
the output of this section will interface with the transmission of mobile
signal. This section contains three parts which is: Voltage Controlled
Oscillator, Power Amplifier and Antenna.
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 18
3.5.7 Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) :
Figure:3.7 Voltage Controlled Oscillator
The most important part in this section is Voltage Controlled Oscillator.
The reason it is important because Voltage Controlled Oscillator will
generate the RF signal which will block the mobile signal transmission.
The output of the Voltage Controlled Oscillator has a frequency which is
proportionally with the input voltage. In this case, we can change the
output frequency by changing the input voltage. There are three criteria to
select a Voltage Controlled Oscillator:
a) Cover the bands that needed.
b) Low cost.
c) Run at low power consumption.
After some period of researching of the component, finally I found out
that CVCO55CL is the suitable component for blocking the frequency
range 935 to 960 MHz. Figure 3.7 shows the Voltage Controlled
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 19
Oscillator image. The output power is up to 8dBm. The reason this
component been selected because of these reasons:
a) Surface mount can reduce the size of product.
b) Large output power which can reduce the amplification stages.
c) Having the same value of power supply which is 5V.
d) Having same noise properties.
3.5.8 Power Amplifier
The power amplifier been used in this device is ADL5570. This power
amplifier specification is suitable to be used in telecommunications
devices. Therefore the specifications for the device are as follows:
a) Fixed gain of 29dBm.
b) Operate from 2.3GHz to 2.4GHz.
c) Power out 25dBm.
3.5.9 Antenna
Antenna is a device which transmits a signal around it. So, in this case the
antenna must be selected due to the project’s objectives. The criterion is
as follows:
a) Monopole antenna.
b) Input impedance 50Ω.
c) VSWR < 2 (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio).
d) Frequency 850 MHz to 1 GHz.
e) Range covered in 1meters.
This criterion is being chosen because the antenna must transmit the same
frequency as the mobile signal frequency. When the ratio between the
antenna frequency and the mobile signal frequency is 1:1, the mobile
signal frequency will be blocked.

3.6 Summary
This chapter explains the methods and the functionality of all the
components that are used in the construction of this project. Development
of Radio Frequency Jammer has three main parts which is Power Supply,
Intermediate Frequency section and Radio Frequency section. The device
operates when the power supply gives ± 12V to IF and RF section. The
triangular wave regulator will regulate the triangular waveform as an
input to RF section. The triangular wave and the noise signal will be
mixed in the mixer for the RF so that it will transmit the desired noise
frequency. The mixture of the signal then will be transferred to clamper
so that the clamper will give the desired voltage range between 0 to 3.5V
for Voltage Controlled Oscillator. Then the signal will be amplified at
power amplifier at RF section and then transmitted as a high noise
frequency range 935 to 960 MHz. This criterion is been chosen because
the antenna must transmit at the same frequency as the mobile signal
frequency. When the ratio between the antenna frequency and the mobile
signal frequency is 1:1, the mobile signal frequency will be blocked.

CHAPTER 4
PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULT
4.1 Introduction
This chapter explains the results of the project and the analysis
throughout this project. It gives a detailed insight on the analysis and
output of the project.
4.2 Result Presentation
The Radio Frequency jammer has been tested against three mobile phone
networks and against radio frequency receivers.
The circuit has been constructed on a Vero board. The jammer has been
designed into three sections which are; power supply, IF section and RF
section. The reason why the jammer was designed into three parts is
because it gets easy when doing troubleshooting.
Since 5dBm output powers from the VCO do not achieve the desired
output power of the GSM jammer, an amplifier with a suitable gain must
be added to increase the VCO output to 34dBm. The PF08109B has high
gain of 35 dB. As datasheets illustrated that this IC is designed to work
on dual band GSM & DCS, the first design of the circuit is using only one
power amplifier IC. Upon testing, the jammer didn’t work properly. It
was concluded that amplifier IC does not work at the two bands
simultaneously. Such a fact was not indicated in the datasheets. This
result was really a big shock, but easily solved by changing the whole RF
design.
4.3 Analysis
Mobile Detector for Smart Mobile Phone jammer was successfully used
to jam three mobile operators. Which are MTN, ETISALAT and
GLOBACOM. When the jammer is ON it will jam the mobile phones in
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 22
that range that are using 2G GSM networks. This jammer did not function
in 3G mobile phone because 3G use high frequency which is 2100MHz
frequency while 2G only cover 815MHz to 925MHz. [4] The results
show that this project functioned as intended. This testing is to see the
duration of time taken by the jammer to jam the GSM phone between the
operators. The testing has been done using three major mobile operators
in Nigeria which are MTN, ETISALAT and GLOBACOM. Based on the
result and testing of the Mobile Jammer, the objective of this project has
been achieved. The Mobile Detector Phone Jammer successfully jammed
all the three operators but the radius of the range did not get as expected
in the designed. Results been obtained when the Development of Radio
Frequency/GSM Signal Jammer was “ON”, the mobile phone
transmission signal will show “NO NETWORK” .
4.4 System Testing and Integration
4.4.1 System
Testing After the construction and implementation phase, the system built
has to be tested for Durability, Efficiency, and Effectiveness and also
ascertain if there is need to modify this construction. The system was first
assembled using a breadboard. All components were properly inserted
into the breadboard from whence some tests were carried out at various
stages. To ensure proper functioning of components’ expected data, the
components were tested using a digital multi meter (DMM). Resistors
were tested to ensure that they were within the tolerance value. Faulty
resistors were discarded .The 78LS05 voltage regulator was also tested,
the resulting output was 5.02v which is just a deviation of 0.02v from the
expected result of 5.00v.The LEDs were tested to ensure that they were
all working properly.
4.4.2 Test
Plan and Test Data This chapter entails an overall system testing of the
integrated design of the voltage measurement device. The testing and
integration is done to ensure that the design is functioning properly as
expected thereby enabling one or even intended users for which the
project was targeted for, appreciate its implementation and the
approaches used in the construction and integration of the various
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 23
modules of the project. However, this involves checks made to ensure
that all the various units and subsystems function adequately. Also there
has to be a good interface existing between the input/output unit
subsystems. When the totality of the modules was integrated together, the
system was created and all modules and sections responded to as
specified in the design through the power supply delivering into the
system designed. The circuit has been constructed on a Vero board. The
jammer has been designed into three sections which are; power supply, IF
section and RF section. The reason why the jammer was designed into
three parts is because it gets easy when doing troubleshooting.
4.4.3 Component Test
Similar components like resistors were packed together. Other
components includes capacitor, preset switches, transformer, diodes
(rectifier) LED, transistor, voltage regulator etc Reference was made to
resistor colour code data sheet to ascertain the expected values of
resistors used. Each resistor was tested and the value read and recorded.
The collector, base and emitter junctions were tested in the following
order. The collector, emitter and base pins were gotten from the data
analysis on power transistor.
4.4.4 System final Testing
After construction of the device, it was taken to the electronics laboratory
for testing, this was necessary because the device had to be tested with a
varying input supply voltage, this was to enable us to determine the
system’s ability to provide protection to the equipment connected to it.
The system was powered and operated upon using several possibilities.
They include plugging and unplugging the mains and noting the output
responses of the system hardware. The system delays and allows output
alongside the corresponding LED in the seven segments. The actual
testing is not just to block the transmission signal but to check the
duration of the time taken by the device to block the transmission
between these three operators MTN, ETISALAT and GLOBACOM.
From the testing, the time taken for the device to block the transmission
between these three operators was totally different.

4.5 Summary
Based on the result and analysis, the device can successfully block the
signal transmission of mobile phone and radio transmission. The device
can block three main operators in Nigeria which are MTN, ETISALAT
and GLOBACOM. Cell phones are everywhere these days. According to
the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association, almost 195
million people in the United States had cell-phone service in October
2005. And cell phones are even more ubiquitous in Europe. The duration
time has also been tested on this device. Although the device can operate
as expected, but the radius of the antenna did not meet the expectation.
The radius should be more than obtained result which is one meter.

SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENT, PROJECT
LIMITATION, RECOMMENDATION AND
CONCLUSION
5.1 Summary
Achievement With a little more stress of soldering the components
together, I was able to assemble the components according the paper
design. At the end, I was able to produce a functional circuit that is well
fit in its place. I was able to make it work using my own specifications. It
was not so easy getting to identify the entire components after I took
them to my hostel, all mixed up in a container. Sorting them was a great
problem. This problem I had is common to majority of engineering
student. This is due to the fact that we do not engage in practical more
often. I thereby suggest that a good mix of academic activity will be made
up of theory and practice. This should be drafted by those that design the
school curriculum to assist the student in the technical aspect of their
academics.
5.2 Project Limitation
1) Wireless signal jammer is an illegal device to be used in Nigeria as the
frequency that is been used by the operators are legally given by the
National Communication Commission (NCC).
2) The components are hard to find and expensive.
3) The radius covered by the device is too small.
4) The frequency and the power used are only for GSM and Radio
transmission.

5.3 Recommendation
It is recommended that engineers should try and improve this work so
that it can perfectly block the network without having to bring the phone
too close to the jammer. There are a few improvements that should be
done for making the device more stable. First, the main subject is the
frequency range; the device cannot only block GSM (2G) transmission
but can also block 3G transmission. The frequency range can be
improved by using a high frequency VCO and power amplifier. For the
radius, it can be wider. So to improve this, a more stable power supply
should be designed for robust operation of the device. The antenna also
must be a bit bigger for the sake of power transfer. The power supply
could be improved, where a step-down would not be used, thereby
reducing the entire size of the project. Similarly, micro soldering could
also be used in order to further reduce the size of the equipment.
5.4 Conclusion
Development of Radio Frequency/GSM Signal Jammer for Security
Application successfully achieves the entire objectives targeted.
Development of Radio Frequency/GSM Signal Jammer for Security
Application has been designed to stop mobile phone communication
(GSM), Amplitude Modulated (AM) and Frequency Modulated (FM)
signals within its range. This device is mainly being designed for the use
of public. The means of this is to locate this device at mosque, schools,
convention hall, meeting rooms, library, and crowded places where the
risks of bombs being targeted are high. These places always need a silent
and peaceful environment. The device has been designed to work in
GSM900 band. The frequency for GSM900 is 935 to 960 MHz which is
GSM or 2G mobile phone transmission.
The device has been able to block the transmission for three main
operators in Nigeria which is MTN, ETISALAT and GLOBACOM. The
radius that covered by the device is too small due to power supply
variation with load current. Radio Frequency/GSM Jammer can be used
to ensure maximum Security and is highly beneficial in a country like
Nigeria where in recent times terrorism has become the order of the day
and thus, providing an interruption to signals required to detonate bombs
and other explosives which require to be detonated from a distance.

The rapid proliferation of cell phones at the beginning of the 21st
century to near ubiquitous status eventually raised problems such as
their potential use to invade privacy or contribute to rampant and
egregious academic cheating. In addition public backlash was growing
against the intrusive disruption cell phones introduced in daily life. While
older analog cell phones often suffered from chronically poor reception
and could even be disconnected by simple interference such as high
frequency noise, increasingly sophisticated digital phones have led to
more elaborate counters. Cell phone jamming devices are an alternative
to more expensive measures against cell phones, such as Faraday cages,
which are mostly suitable as built in protection for structures. They were
originally developed for law enforcement and the military to interrupt
communications by criminals and terrorists. Some were also designed to
foil the use of certain remotely detonated explosives. The civilian
applications were apparent, so over time many companies originally
contracted to design jammers for government use switched over to sell
these devices to private entities. Since then, there has been a slow but
steady increase in their purchase and use, especially in major
metropolitan areas.
6.2. Introduction to cell phone jammer
Cell phones are everywhere these days. According to the Cellular
Telecommunications and Internet Association, almost 195 million people
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 28
in the United States had cell-phone service in October 2005. And cell
phones are even more ubiquitous in Europe.
It's great to be able to call anyone at anytime. Unfortunately, restaurants,
movie theaters, concerts, shopping malls and churches all suffer from the
spread of cell phones because not all cell-phone users know when to stop
talking. Who hasn't seethed through one side of a conversation about an
incredibly personal situation as the talker shares intimate details with his
friend as well as everyone else in the area?
While most of us just grumble and move on, some people are actually
going to extremes to retaliate. Cell phones are basically handheld two-
way radios. And like any radio, the signal can be disrupted, or jammed.
6.3.Cell Phone Jamming Basics
Disrupting a cell phone is the same as jamming any other type of radio
communication. A cell phone works by communicating with the service
network through a cell toweras base station.
Cell towers divide a city into small areas,or cells. As a cell phone
user drives down the street, the signal is handed from tower to tower.
Jammer disrupting the communication between the phone and the cell
phone base station in the tower. It’s called denial-of-service attack. The
jammer denies service of the radio spectrumThe rapid proliferation of cell
phones at the beginning of the 21st century to near ubiquitous status
eventually raised problems such as their potential use to invade privacy or
contribute to rampant and egregious academic cheating. In addition
public backlash was growing against the intrusive disruption cell phones
introduced in daily life. within range of the jamming device as While
older analog cell phones often suffered from chronically poor reception
and could even be disconnected by simple interference such as high
frequency noise, increasingly sophisticated digital phones have led to
more elaborate counters to the cell phone users within range of the
jamming device as cell phone users within range of the jamming device .

Figure:6.1. Cell phone jammer circuit
6.4. Cell Phone Jamming Device
Jamming devices overpower the cell phone by transmitting a signal on
the same frequency and at a high enough power that the two signals
collide and cancel each other out.
Cell phones are designed to add power if they experience low-level
interference, so the jammer must recognize and match the power increase
from the phone.
Cell phones are full-duplex devices, which means 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 frequencies.
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 30
Less complex devices block only one group of frequencies, while
sophisticated jammers can block several types of networks at once to
head off dual-mode or tri-mode phones that automatically switch among
different network types to find an open signal. Some of the high-end
devices block all frequencies at once, and others can be tuned to specific
frequencies.
To jam a cell phone, all you need is a device that broadcasts on the
correct frequencies. Although different cellular systems process signals
differently, all cell-phone networks use radio signals that can be
interrupted. GSM, used in digital cellular and PCS-based systems,
operates in the 900-MHz and 1800-MHz bands in Europe and Asia and in
the 1900-MHz (sometimes referred to as 1.9-GHz) band in the United
States. Jammers can broadcast on any frequency and are effective against
AMPS, CDMA, TDMA, GSM, PCS, DCS, iDEN and Nextel systems.
Oldfashioned analog cell phones and today's digital devices are equally
susceptible to jamming.
The actual range of the jammer depends on its power and the local
environment, which may include hills or walls of a building that block the
jamming signal. Low-powered jammers block calls in a range of about 30
feet (9 m). Higher-powered units create a cell-free zone as large as a
football field. Units used by law enforcement can shut down service up to
1 mile (1.6 km) from the device. Cell phones are everywhere these days.
According to the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association,
almost 195 million people in the United States had cell-phone service in
October 2005. And cell phones are even more ubiquitous in Europe.
6.5. Design Parameters
Based on the above, our device which is related to the DOS technique is
transmitting noise on the same frequencies of the two bands GSM 900
MHz, and GSM 1.8 GHz (known also as DCS 1800 band). We focused
on some design parameters to establish the device specifications. These
parameters are as follows: The distance to be jammed (D) This parameter
is very important in our design, since the amount of the output power of
the jammer depends on the area that we need to jam. Later on we will see
the relationship between the output power and the distance D. Our design
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 31
is established upon D=10 meters for DCS 1800 band and D=20 meters
for GSM 900 band.
6.6 Jamming – to - signal ratio J/S
Jamming is successful when the jamming signal denies the usability of
the communication transmission. In digital communications, the usability
is denied when the error rate of the transmission cannot be compensated
by error correction. Usually, a successful jamming attack requires that the
jammer power is roughly equal to signal power at the receiver (mobile
device). The general equation of the jamming-to-signal ratio is given as
follows: where: Pj = jammer power, Gjr = antenna gain from jammer to
receiver, Grj=antenna gain from receiver to jammer, Rtr=range between
communication transmitter and receiver, Br=communication receiver
bandwidth, Lr =communication signal loss, Pt=transmitter power, Gtr=
antenna gain from transmitter to receiver, Grt=antenna gain from receiver
to transmitter, Rjr=range between jammer and communication receiver,
Bj=jammer bandwidth, and Lj=jamming signal loss. For GSM, the
specified system SNRmin is 9 dB which will be used as the worst case
scenario for the jammer. The maximum power at the mobile device Pr is -
15 dBm.
6.7 Free space loss F
The free-space loss (or path loss) is given by: The maximum free space
loss (worst case F) happens when the maximum frequency is used in the
above equation. Using 1880 MHz gives: F (dB) =32.44+20 log 0.01 + 20
log 1880 which gives F =58 dB.
6.8 Component of Cell Phone Jammers
Electronically speaking, cell-phone jammers are very basic devices. Cell
phones are full-duplex devices, which means they use two separate
frequencies, one for talking and one for listening simultaneously The
simplest just have an on/off switch and a light that indicates it's on. More
complex devices have switches to activate jamming at different
frequencies. Components of a jammer include:
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 32
6.8.1 Power supply
Smaller jamming devices are battery operated. Some look like cell phone
and use cell-phone batteries. Stronger devices can be plugged into a
standard outlet or wired into a vehicle's electrical system.
6.8.2 Circuitry
The main electronic components of a jammer are:
Voltage-controlled oscillator : Generates the radio signal that
will interfere with the cell phone signal
Tuning circuit : Controls the frequency at which the jammer
broadcasts its signal by sending a particular voltage to the
oscillator Noise generator - Produces random electronic output in a
specified frequency range to jam the cell-phone network signal
(part of the tuning circuit) RF amplification (gain stage) - Boosts
the power of the radio frequency output to high enough levels to
jam a signal.
6.8.3 Antenna
Every jamming device has an antenna to send the signal. Some are
contained rical cabinet. On stronger devices, antennas are external to
provide longer range and may be tuned for individual frequencies.
How Cell Phone Jammers Work ?
Cell phone jammers work in a similar way to radio jammers by sending
out the same radio frequencies that cell phones operate on. Doing so
creates enough interference so that a call cannot connect with a cell
phone. There are two types of cell phone jammers currently available.
The first type are usually smaller devices that block the signals coming
from cell phone towers to individual cell phones. The frequency blocked
is somewhere between 800MHz and 1900MHz. Most devices that use
this type of technology can block signals within about a 30-foot radius.
Cell phones within this range simply show no signal.
The second type of cell phone jammer is usually much larger in size
and more powerful. They operate by blocking the transmission of a signal
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 33
from the satellite to the cell phone tower. Some powerful models can
block cell phone transmissions within a 5 mile radius. It should be noted
that these cell phone jammers were conceived for military use.
Once again, it should be noted that operating or even owning a cell phone
jammer is illegal in most municipalities and specifically so in the United
States. Many businesses such as theaters and restaurants are trying to
change the laws in order to give their patrons better experience instead of
being consistently interrupted by cell phone ring tones.
6.9 Jamming techniques
Type “A” Device (JAMMERS): This type of device comes
equipped with several independent oscillators transmitting
’jamming signals’ capable of blocking frequencies used by paging
devices as well as those used by cellular systems control channels
for call establishment.
Type “B” Device (Intelligent Cellular Disablers): Unlike
jammers, Type ”B” devices do not transmit an interfering signal on
the control channels. The device, when located in a designated
’quite’ area, functions as a ’detector’. It has a unique identification
number for communicating with the cellular base station.
Type “C” Device (Intelligent Beacon Disablers):Unlike
jammers, Type C devices do not transmit an interfering signal on
the control channels. The device, when located in a designated
’quiet’ area, functions as a ’beacon’ and any compatible terminal is
instructed to disable its ringer or disable its operation, while within
the coverage area of beacon.
Type “D” Device (Direct Receive & Transmit Jammers): This
jammer behaves like a small, independent and portable base
station, which can directly interact intelligently or unintelligently
with the operation of the local mobile phone. The jammer is
predominantly in receive mode and will intelligently choose to
interact and block the cell Phone directly if it is within close
proximity of the jammer.
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 34
Type E Device (EMI Shield - Passive Jamming): This technique
is using EMI suppression techniques to make a room into what is
called Faraday cage. Cell phones are full-duplex devices,
which means they use two separate frequencies, one for talking and
one for listening simultaneously although labor intensive to
construct, the Faraday cage essentially Blocks or greatly attenuates,
virtually all electromagnetic radiation from entering or leaving the
cage - or in this case a target room.
6.10. Types of cell phone jammer Device :
There are many types of cell phone jammer device which is used in our
daily life .as we take a example of class room ,where we does not want to
use of cell phone than there we can use cell phone jammer device by this
we can produce the interface between the cell phone station and jamming
device. Resulting it disconnect the cell from base station and we cannot
receive the any calls from base station. For this there are many types of
cell phone jammer devices which is given as below:
Portable cell phone jammer
Remote control cell phone jammer
Adjustable cell phone jammer
School &prison phone jammer
Explosion-proof cell phone jammer
Police &military phone jammer One of the cell phone jammer
device is “single knight brand ultra-thin cell phone jammer” .
An Overview to Cell Phone Jammer
A cell phone jammer is a device that emits signal in the same
frequency range that cell phones use, effectively blocking their
transmission by creating strong interferences. The power of the
Jammer’s effect can vary widely based on a factors such as
proximity to towers, indoor and outdoor settings, presence of
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 35
building and landscape, even temperature and humidity play a
role.
Jammer blocks cell phone use by sending radio waves along the
same frequencies that cellular phones use. This causes enough
interference with the communication of cell phones and the towers
to render the phones unusage. Thus jammer can work by either
disrupting phone to tower frequencies or tower to phone
frequencies.

CHAPTER 7
MODERN COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES
7.1 Global System for Mobile Communication :
GSM is the most popular standard for mobile phones in the world. GSM
is an open standard which is currently developed by the 3GPP. GSM
networks operate at various frequencies most of them operate at 900MHz
or 1800MHz.There are four different cell sizes in a GSM network –
Macro, Micro, Pico and umbrella cells. The coverage area of each cell is
different in different environments. Cell radius varies depending on
antenna height, gain and propagation conditions from couple of 100Mtrs
to several tens of kilometers. The longest the GSM specifications
supports in practical use in 35 kilometers.
7.1.1 GSM Frequency Bands
There are five frequency bands used by GSM mobile phones.
GSM – 900
GSM – 1800
GSM – 850
GSM – 1900
GSM – 422
7.1.2 Subscribers Identity Module
One of the key features of GSM is the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM),
commonly known as SIM card. The SIM is a detachable smart card
containing the user’s subscriptions information and phone book.
The SIM card holds all of a subscriber’s personal information and
phone settings.
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 37
It also holds phone number, personal security key and other data
necessary for the handset to function.
The card can be switched from phone to phone, letting the new
phone receive all calls to the subscriber’s numbers.
7.2 Code Division Multiple Access
CDMA, a proprietary standard designed by Qualcomm in the United
States, has been the dominant network standard for North America and
parts of Asia. CDMA has been traditionally faster than GSM. CDMA lets
every one transmit at the same time. It works by assigning unique codes
to all speech bits and the encrypted signal are dispersed over a wide
frequencies spectrum of 1.25MHz. The signals are picked out by the
receiver’s equipment that is tuned / programmed to identify that code. In
contrast to GSM, same frequency channels are used in each cell.
CDMA splits the sound in to small bits that travels on a spread
spectrum of frequencies. CDMA technology allows a network to handle
more calls than competing digital technologies.
Advantage of CDMA
Voice quality
Call security
Network Capacity
Call Maintenance
CDMA digital technology offers clean, clear connection and
superb voice quality.
CDMA spread spectrum technology helps eliminate frustrating
bottle necks.
CDMA digital technology keeps the user connected by using a soft
hand off.

CHAPTER 8
BLOCK DIAGRAM AND ITS WORKING
8.1. INTRODUCTION
The Cell Phone Jammers works on the same frequency band of the cell
phones operate ‘Cell phone has a property of frequency shifting. When
there is any disturbance on operating frequency will shift into the next
channel. This continues operation keeps the cell phone link free from any
interference and co-channel interference. The GSM band frequency is
925MHz-960MHz. The CDMA band frequency is 825MHz-860MHz.
In Cellular Communication system there are 124 channels available
for any cell user. In this process the cell has to search for free channels.
During this process the cell phone takes 40 µsec for searching between
adjacent cells. The bandwidth between each channel is 200 kHz.

8.2. HYBRID OSCILLATOR
In order to block the cell phones, we have to generate Jamming
frequencies with 40 µsec scanning speed. The blocking range is 835 MHz
to 980 MHz. But to the presence of variations in temperature, fluctuations
in circuitry, we generate 800 MHz to 1000 MHz. Initially a spot
frequency is generated in the range between 800 MHz to 1000 MHz. In
order to spread the frequencies in the full range, scanning voltage is
applied. The scanning voltage is varied and depending on the variations
frequencies in the range 800 MHz to 1000 MHz is generated.
8.3. PULSE GENERATOR
The Pulse Generator is used to generate the pulses. These pulses are used
to convert the analog signals into digital signals, since we use digital
modulation in the cellular system. This can be done by a pulse generator
which produces pulses of 1 µsec. The pulse generator uses TL084 CN
QUAD op-amp consist of four op-amps.
8.4. PINK NOISE GENERATOR
Another input to the modulator is “Pink Noise”. The pink noise is
generated by using pink noise generator. This noise is used as a message
signal so that modulation stage results in producing noise in the cell
phone frequency range and to create confusion in the hand set.
Noise generator – Produces random electronic output in a specified
frequency range to jam the cell – phone network signal (part of the
tuning circuit)
The noise generator is just a standard 6.8 volt Zener diode with a small
reverse current and a transistor buffer. The (optional) National LM386-1
audio amplifier acts as a natural band-pass filter and small-signal
amplifier. The noise jamming signal is then mixed with the triangle wave
input. This will help in making the jamming transmission, making it look
random “noise” to and outside observer. Without the noise generator, the
jamming signal is just a sweeping, unmodulated Continuous Wave (CW)
RF carrier.
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 40
The LM386 based noise generator may break in to oscillation or
Output very low signal. If does this, adjust the Zener bias resistor (2 k) up
Down few hundred ohms while observing the signal (disconnected from
the LM386) on an oscilloscope for the maximum noise signal. The
grounding should be done properly. The LM386 will oscillate without a
good grounding system and poor power supply bypassing.
Any Zener diode above or equal to 6.2 volts will work in the noise
generator, as this Zener diode have an “avalanche” region which
generates a tremendous amount of noise when properly biased.
8.5. Modulator
The modulation of used is GSMK. GSMK means Gaussian Minimum
shift keying, which is a continuous phase, frequency shifting keying
process. That means only the phase is kept constant varying frequency of
the carrier in accordance with the message signal which is pink noise
here. For the modulation purpose an oscillator circuit with the variable
capacitance diode is used here.
The frequency ranges used in the cell phone band are in MHz ranges
so ordinary transistors are not enough for the modulation. So here high
frequency transistors are used. The high frequency transistors used here is
BFG 65. These transistors can be used for the MHz ranges.
8.6. Band pass Filter
Due to the modulation process some variations occurs which disturb other
applications. So to avoid this and for gaining accuracy this complex
signal waveform is passed through a 50 Ώ a strip line filter. This special
filter prevents GSM/CDMA pulsed signal from overshooting from
specified band spectrum. Here the lower band and upper band are also
limited by stripline filter.
8.7. Preamplifier
The output power obtained is very low. This is not enough to drive the
output MOSFET amplification section. In order to drive the MOSFET
power module the preamplifier stage is used which produces an output of
2.5mV. The bandwidth corrected signal is connected to 2 dB attenuator
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 41
before power module. The 2 dB attenuator is used to give correct
impendence matching to the MOSFET power module.Cell phones are
full-duplex devices, which means they use two separate frequencies, one
for talking and one for listening simultaneously This is necessary because
the output amplifier is build with MOSFET module which requires very
low signal level to drive with effective impendence matching. The output
module is mounted as far as from all other signal sources and power
supply section to avoid stray RF noise coupling.
8.8. Output MOSFET Amplifier
The output module works from 3.6 V DC at 3 – 5 current. This output
module is more critical to assemble as even a low stray coupling may
lead to strong oscillation and cause to overload the module, finally
damage.
The power supply line is adequately decoupled with good quality
low leakage capacitors and RF inductors. The heat produced by the
module also should be radiated properly to keep the surface temperature
within limit. Normally a good quality heavy duty heat sink with direct
mounted module is critically coupled through strip line and inductive.
The MOSFET power module used in the output stage has lot of
advantages
It doesn’t require heavy supply voltage.
The input impedance is low.
Gives full output with low input signal level.
Output power can be adjusted with small control DC voltage.
The output impedance is high.
Very small in size.
Low distortion at high level output.
This advantage makes the MOSFET power module as an ideal output
device for this project.
8.9. WHIP ANTENNA
Every jamming device has an antenna to send the signal. Some are
contained within an electrical cabinet. On stronger devices, antennas are
external to provide longer range and may be tuned for individual
frequencies.
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 42
The output of the module is terminated to a whip antenna with
correctly tuned matching network. This network helps to transfer the
generated energy to the area without much loss. Cell phones are
everywhere these days. According to the Cellular Telecommunications
and Internet Association, almost 195 million people in the United States
had cell-phone service in October 2005. And cell phones are even more
ubiquitous in Europe. Correct impedance matching is necessary to keep
the standing wave ratio as low as possible. Otherwise the return loss will
hit up the output module causing permanent damage. A copper wire is
used as whip antennas with 1/4th wave length. This antenna has a
radiation pattern of 360°.
The most important part of a radio system is the antenna. Directional
gain antennas can be used to increase the jammer’s performance, but only
in the direction the antenna is pointed. High-gain, omni-directional
antennas are the best.To cover an area bigger than 2800 square meters.

CHAPTER 9
Cell Phone Jammer Applications
Cell phone jamming devices were originally developed for law
enforcement and the military to interrupt communications by criminals
and terrorists. The bombs that blew up commuter trains in Spain in March
2004, as well as blasts in Bali in October 2002 and Jakarta.
In August 2003, all relied on cell phones to trigger explosives. It has
been widely reported that a cell-phone jammer thwarted an assassination
attempt on Pakistani President Musharraf in December 2003. When
President Bush visited London in November 2004, it was reported that
British police considered using jammers to protect the president's
motorcade through London.
During a hostage situation, police can control when and where a
captor can make a phone call. Police can block phone calls during a drug
raid so suspects can't communicate outside the area. Cell-phone jammers
can be used in areas where radio transmissions are dangerous, (areas with
a potentially explosive atmosphere), such as chemical storage facilities or
grain elevators. The TRJ-89 jammer from Antenna System & Supplies
Inc. carries its own electrical generator and can block cellular
communications in a 5-mile (8-km) radius.
Corporations use jammers to stop corporate espionage by blocking
voice transmissions and photo transmissions from camera phones. On the
more questionable end of the legitimacy spectrum, there are rumors that
hotel chains install jammers to block guests' cell-phone usage and force
them to use in-room phones at high rates.
9.1. Cell Phone Jamming Legal Issues
In the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and many other
countries, blocking cellphone services (as well as any other electronic
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 44
transmissions) is against the law. In the United States, cell-phone
jamming is covered under the Communications Act of 1934, which
prohibits people from "willfully or maliciously interfering with the radio
communications of any station licensed or authorized" to operate. In fact,
the "manufacture, importation, sale or offer for sale, including
advertising, of devices designed to block or jam wireless transmissions is
prohibited" as well.
Jamming is seen as property theft, because a private company has
purchased the rights to the radio spectrum, and jamming the spectrum is
akin to stealing the property the company has purchased. It also
represents a safety hazard because jamming blocks all calls in the area,
not just the annoying ones. Jamming a signal could block the call of a
babysitter frantically trying to contact a parent or a someone trying to call
for an ambulance.
Federal Communications Commission is charged with enforcing
jamming laws. However, the agency has not yet prosecuted anyone for
cell-phone jamming. Under the U.S. rules, fines for a first offense can
range as high as $11,000 for each violation or imprisonment for up to one
year, and the device used may also be seized and forfeited to the
government.
In most countries, it is illegal for private citizens to jam cell-phone
transmission, but some countries are allowing businesses and government
organizations to install jammers in areas where cell-phone use is seen as a
public nuisance. Cell phones are everywhere these days. According to the
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association, almost 195
million people in the United States had cell-phone service in October
2005. And cell phones are even more ubiquitous in Europe.
In December 2004, France legalized cellphone jammers in movie
theaters, concert halls and other places with performances. France is
finalizing technology that will let calls to emergency services go through.
India has installed jammers in parliament and some prisons. It has been
reported that universities in Italy have adopted the technology to prevent
cheating. Students were taking photos of tests with their camera phones
and sending them to classmates.

9.2 Alternatives to Cell Phone Jamming
While the law clearly prohibits using a device to actively disrupt a cell-
phone signal, there are no rules against passive cell-phone blocking. That
means using things like wallpaper or building materials embedded with
metal fragments to prevent cell-phone signals from reaching inside or
outside the room. Some buildings have designs that block radio signals by
accident due to thick concrete walls or a steel skeleton.
Companies are working on devices that control a cell phone but do
not "jam the signal." One device sends incoming calls to voicemail and
blocks outgoing calls.
Cell-phone alerters are available that indicate the presence of a
cell-phone signal. These have been used in hospitals where cell-phone
signals could interfere with sensitive medical equipment. When a signal
is detected, users are asked to turn off their phones.
For a less technical solution, Coudal Partners, a design firm in
Chicago, has launched the SHHH, the Society for Hand Held Hushing. At
its Web site, you can download a note to hand to people conducting
annoying cell-phone conversations, expressing your lack of interest in
what they're talking about.
Conclusion :
On observing the output of the frequency spectrum the VCO output is
varies from 890MHz to 960MHz. This output is fed to MMG3001 and it
is found that the mobile jammer blocks the mobile signal in 8-meter
effective radius. All the circuit output are constructed and observed using
the Electronic work bench. The simulation result and practical result are
found to be approbatory equal. The gain of the project is that we are able
to block communication coming into and going out from a GSM phone
operating on the 890MHz to 960MHz frequency band. We are also able
to reach 8-meter effective blocking radius and keep the cost less. At last
we can say every device is acts as good aspects as well as bad aspects. In
many place cell phone jammer is useful but at many place it is a problem
.for this we can take a example that if at any place cell phone jammer is
on than anybody wants to use than there creates some problems.

CHAPTER 10
TV REMOTE JAMMER
In consumer electronics, are mote control is a component of an
electronic device such as a television set, DVD player, or other home
appliance, used to operate the device wirelessly from a short distance.
Remote control is a convenience feature for the consumer, and can allow
operation of devices that are out of convenient reach for direct operation
of controls.TV remote jammer is basically a IR jammer. The fundamental
technology used in TV Remotes is Infrared light. By using this circuit
you can prevent anyone by changing the channel and can watch favorite
channels without any interruption The idea behind TV remote control
jammer is sending a constant IR pulse with the carrier frequency of
the transmitter. Hence the result will be non-accepted signal from the
receiver and therefore no action will be taken. Generally Philips TV
remotes follows RC5 (Remote Control) protocol. This protocol was
developed by Philips in the late 1980s. According to this protocol, for
each button, Remote transmits 14 bits .
Commonly, remote controls are Consumer IR devices which send
digitally-coded pulses of IR radiation to control functions such as
power, volume, tuning, temperature set point, fan speed, or other
features. Remote controls for these devices are usually small wireless
handheld objects with an array of buttons for adjusting various settings
such as television channel, track number, and volume. For many
devices, the remote control contains all the function controls while the
controlled device itself has only a handful of essential primary controls.
10.1.Basic Principle
Basically the TV remote emits a sequence of pulses when you press a
button. IR transmitter is fixed to the surface of the TV remote. This IR
transmitter emits the pulses in unique configuration for each button.IR
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 47
receiver which is arranged to TV will receive these sequence of pulses
that are transmitted by TV Remote and identifies which button is pressed
in TV remote.. Most of the TV remotes have 38KHz operating frequency.
A flood of IR beams in the same frequency can easily confuse the TV
receiver and this is the operating principle of our jammer. The circuit is
nothing but an astable multivibrator based on NE555 IC. The output of
NE55 is amplified using a PNP transistor SK100 to drive the IR LEDs.
Not only TV remotes, but any IR remotes operating in the 38 KHz
frequency region can be also jammed by using this circuit. Not only TV
remotes, but any IR remotes operating in the 38 KHz frequency region
can be also jammed by using this circuit.
10.2 Purpose
The main purpose of this circuit is to jam the sensor of the TV receiver at
a particular frequency on a desired channel. As it jams the TV receiver,
it prevents the IR receiver from sensing any other signal from the TV
remote. It will also allow the user to jam the volume at a fixed range, to
avoid irritation by loud noise and also prevents from turning TV, ON or
OFF by remote.
10.3 Scope
This project is about the design and application of TV remote jammer. The
main concept of this project is to develop a circuit to block the emerging
signals from the TV remote by producing pulses from the IR sensor
connected to this circuit. By using the same jamming concept other
electronics appliances such as A.C, automatic door, remote controlled
fan can also be jammed. The future scope of this project can be
implemented by using a powerful IR diode such that it can be operated
from a long distance.

In 2013A. R. Yrfanean
Modelling and Simulation of the Active Jammer:-
In this paper, it analyzes the jamming effect of the IR jammer signal to
oppose the crossed array detectors reticule seeker though the simulation.
The simulation results show that the jamming effect is greatly influenced
by frequency, phase and intensity of the jammer signal. Specially, the
jammer frequency has the largest influence on the jamming effect. The
jammer frequency has to be more than a certain value to be able to affect
the seeking process. In addition to that, the jammer intensity has to be
more than a certain value related to the pulse position technique to be
able to produce effective influence on the seeker signals.
As a result the jammer has to be with appropriate parameters for
influence the guidance signals in a manner that the target will be pushed
out of the field of view and be missed, or causes an unstable situation in

the seeking making the miss distance is so large.Cell phones are full-
duplex devices, which means they use two separate frequencies, one for
talking and one for listening simultaneously.
In 2010 Johan F. Blokker
Method and apparatus for jamming IR remote control :-
Infrared remote controls are commonly used in many electronic devices
such as televisions, video cassette recorders and audio stereo components
and compact disc players. At times two persons may have different
opinions about what television channel or entertainment unit is to be
received. An example of this situations when one person uses the remote
control to change the TV channel continuously making it uncomfortable
to watch TV with them. These peoples are commonly called “channel
checkers”.
“Infrared remote controls use pulses of infrared light to
transmit information between electronic devices. Most such remote
controls send the infrared pulse pattern that represents the
transmitted information twice. The receiving devices compare the
two pulse patterns to conform that the information was received
correctly. If a difference is detected, an error in the transmission is
assumed and the transmitted information is ignored.”
In 2009 Eric B. Randall
Basics of jamming technology:-
The disclosed device uses two timer circuits to create a train of digital
pulses similar to the pulses of a remote control. The first timer is
designed to produce a pulsed wave at the same frequency used in a
modulated infrared transmission method. The second timer reduces
power consumption, which is particularly important fore hand-held,
battery powered device. Since the information transmitted by the remote
control is a long train of pulses only periodic interference is needed to
cause sufficient errors to disable the device.

12.1 Description of Block in Project:
12.1.1 Power Supply
Figure. 12.1 Power Supply
The first section is the TRANSFORMER. The transformer steps up
or steps down the input line voltage and isolates the power supply from
the power line.
The RECTIFIER section converts the alternating current input signal
to a pulsating direct current. However, as you proceed in this chapter you
will learn that pulsating dc is not desirable. For this reason a FILTER
section is used to convert pulsating dc to a purer, more desirable form of
dc voltage.

you proceed in this chapter you will learn that pulsating dc is not
desirable. For this reason a FILTER section is used to convert pulsating
dc to a purer, more desirable form of dc voltage. Block diagram of a basic
power supply. The final section, the REGULATOR, does just what the
name implies. It maintains the output of the power supply at a constant
level in spite of large changes in load current or input line voltages. Now
that you know what each section does, let's trace an AC signal through
the power supply. At this point you need to see how this signal is altered
within each section of the power supply. Later on in the chapter you will
see how these changes take place. In view B of, an input signal of 115
volts ac is applied to the primary of the transformer. The transformer is a
step-up transformer with a turn ratio of 1:3. You can calculate the output
for this transformer by multiplying the input voltage by the ratio of turns
in the primary to the ratio of turns in the secondary; therefore, 115 volts
ac 3 = 345 volts ac (peak-to- peak) at the output. Because each diode in
the rectifier section conducts for 180 degrees of the 360-degree input, the
output of the rectifier will be one-half, or approximately 173 volts of
pulsating dc. The filter section, a network of resistors, capacitors, or
inductors, controls the rise and fall time of the varying signal;
consequently, the signal remains at a more constant dc level. You will see
the filter process more clearly in the discussion of the actual filter
circuits. The output of the filter is a signal of 110 volts dc, with ac ripple
riding on the dc. The reason for the lower voltage (average voltage) will
be explained later in this chapter. The regulator maintains its output.
12.1.2Circuit Diagram of Astable Multivibrator
Above figure shows the circuit diagram of a 555 Timer wired in Astable
Mode. 8th pin and 1st pin of the IC are used to give power, Vcc and GND
respectively Cell phones are full-duplex devices, which means they use
two separate frequencies, one for talking and one for listening
simultaneously The 4th pin is RESET pin which is active low and is
connected to Vcc to avoid accidental resets. 5th pin is the Control
Voltage pin which is not used. So to avoid high frequency noises it is

connected to a capacitor C’ whose other end is connected to ground.
Usually C’ = 0.01μF.Cell phones are full-duplex devices, which means
they use two separate frequencies, one for talking and one for listening
simultaneously The Trigger (pin 2) and Threshold (pin 6) inputs are
connected to the capacitor which determines the output of the timer.
Discharge pin (pin 7) is connected to the resistor Rb such that the
capacitor can discharge through Rb. Diode D connected in parallel to Rb
is only used when an output of duty cycle less than or equal.
Figure. 12.2 Circuit of Astable Multivibrator
An Astable Multivibrator is an oscillator circuit that continuously
produces rectangular wave without the aid of external triggering. So
Astable Multivibrator is also known as Free Running Multivibrator. I
have already posted about Astable Multivibrator using Transistors.
Astable Multivibrator using 555 Timer is very simple, easy to design,
very stable and low cost. It can be used for timing from microseconds to
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 53
hours.Cell phones are full-duplex devices, which means they use two
separate frequencies, one for talking and one for listening simultaneously
Due to these reasons 555 has a large number of applications and it is a
popular IC among electronics hobbyists. To 50% is required. For the sake
of explain the working –
Design of Astable Multivibrator
Capacitor charges up to 2/3Vcc (the upper comparator limit) which is
determined by the 0.693(R1+R2)C combination and discharges itself
down to 1/3Vcc (the lower comparator limit) determined by the
0.693(R2.C) combination. The individual times required to complete one
charge and discharge cycle of the output is therefore given as:
Astable 555 Oscillator Charge and Discharge Times
T1 = 0.693(R1+R2)
T2 = 0.693*R2*C
Figure.12.3 Output Waveform of Astable multivibrator
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 54
When connected as an astable multivibrator, the output from the 555
Oscillator will continue indefinitely charging and discharging between
2/3Vcc and 1/3Vcc until the power supply is removed. As with the
monostable multivibrator these charge and discharge times and therefore
the frequency are independent on the supply voltage. The duration of one
full timing cycle is therefore equal to the sum of the two individual times
that the capacitor charges and discharges added together and is given as:
1. 555 Oscillator Cycle Time
T = t 1+ t 2= 0.693(R1+2R2)*C
The output frequency of oscillations can be found by inverting the
equation above for the total cycle time giving a final equation for the
output frequency of an Astable 555 Oscillator as:
2. 555 Oscillator Frequency Equation
By altering the time constant of just one of the RC combinations, the
Duty Cycle better known as the “Mark-to-Space” ratio of the output
waveform can be accurately set and is given as the ratio of resistor R2 to
resistor R1.Cell phones are full-duplex devices, which means they use
two separate frequencies, one for talking and one for listening
simultaneously. The Duty Cycle for the 555 Oscillator, which is the ratio
of the “ON” time divided by the “OFF” time is given by:
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 55
3. 555 Oscillator Duty Cycle
The duty cycle has no units as it is a ratio but can be expressed as a
percentage ( % ). If both timing resistors, R1 and R2 are equal in value,
then the output duty cycle will be 2:1 that is, 66% ON time and 33% OFF
time with respect to the period.

Figure above shows an astable multivibrator implemented using the 555
IC together with an external resistor RA, RB and an external capacitor C.
Multi Jammer

When the circuit is switched ON, the capacitor (C) voltage will be
less than 1/3 Vcc. So the output of the lower comparator will be
HIGH and of the higher comparator will be LOW. This SETs the
output of the SR Flip-flop.
Thus the discharging transistor will be OFF and the capacitor C
starts charging from Vcc through resistor RA & RB.
When the capacitor voltage will become greater than 1/3 Vcc ( less
than 2/3 Vcc ), the output of both comparators will be LOW and
the output of SR Flip-flop will be same as the previous condition.
Thus the capacitor continuous to charge.
When the capacitor voltage will becomes slightly greater than 2/3
Vcc the output of the higher comparator will be HIGH and of
lower comparator will be LOW. This resets the SR Flip-flop.
Thus the discharging transistor turns ON and the capacitor starts
discharging through resistor Rb.
Soon the capacitor voltage will be less than 2/3 Vcc and output of
both comparators will be LOW. So the output of the SR Flip-flop
will be the previous state
So the discharging of capacitor continuous.
When the capacitor voltage will become less than 1/3 Vcc, the
output SETs since the output of lower comparator is HIGH and of
higher comparator is LOW and the capacitor starts charging again
This process continuous and a rectangular wave will be obtained at
the output.
But we can also connect the 555 timer IC in an Astable mode to
produce a very stable 555 Oscillator circuit for generating highly
accurate free running waveforms whose output frequency can be
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 57
adjusted by means of an externally connected RC tank circuit
consisting of just two resistors and a capacitor.
The 555 Oscillator is another type of relaxation oscillator for
generating stabilized square wave output waveforms of either a
fixed frequency of up to 500 kHz or of varying duty cycles from 50
to 100%. In the previous 555 Timer tutorial we saw that the
monostable circuit produces a single output one-shot pulse when
triggeredon its pin 2 trigger input.
Whereas the 555 monostable circuit stopped after a preset time
waiting for the next trigger pulse to start over again, in order to get
the 555 Oscillator to operate as an astable multivibrator it is
necessary to continuously re-trigger the 555 IC after each and
every timing cycle.
This re-triggering is basically achieved by connecting the trigger
input (pin 2) and the threshold input (pin 6) together, thereby
allowing the device to act as an astable oscillator.. Also the single
timing resistor of the previous monostable multivibrator circuit has
been split into two separate resistors, R1 and R2 with their junction
connected to the discharge input (pin 7) as shown below.
Thus the discharging transistor will be OFF and the capacitor C
starts charging from Vcc through resistor RA & RB.
When the capacitor voltage will become greater than 1/3 Vcc ( less
than 2/3 Vcc ), the output of both comparators will be LOW and
the output of SR Flip-flop will be same as the previous condition.
Thus the capacitor continuous to charge.
When the capacitor voltage will becomes slightly greater than 2/3
Vcc the output of the higher comparator will be HIGH and of
lower comparator will be LOW. This resets the SR Flip-flop.

Test it out:
You may have to tinker with the 10k pot to get the frequency right for the
device you are targeting. Adjust the pot while the remote is 'on' and test it
with the original remote until the jammer confuses the device. Now, just
pull out the remote whenever you need to take control of your device and
no one will have any idea what's going on. You can bring this to a friends
house and drive them nuts! Have fun, be safe!
1. 10k variable resistor needs to be adjusted to obtain the correct
frequency.
2. Power switch wiring that goes to the remote switch
How Does it Work?
This is a pretty simple concept. When you press a button on a remote
control for a TV, stereo or other IR device, it creates a series of pulses
which the receiver in the target device; in this example, a TV, decodes
into the corresponding function. This frequency is around 35-40 kHz. To
confuse the receiver, this jammer sends out a steady stream of binary
code (1's and 0's) at the same frequency, but contains no information to
decode. The receiver basically sits there and does not respond at all and
the real information cannot get through to it as long as the jammer is on.
Voila! You've 'jammed' your TV remote.
13.5 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
TV Remote Control Jammer Circuit Advantages:

other people cannot change the channel while watching our

CONCLUSION
TV remote jammer circuits have both advantages and disadvantages,
these can be considered as good and bad both depending on the signal
intended to be jammed. Simple jammer circuits can be pretty easily
constructed; however subtle circuit can be made for higher requirements
Sling Media struck it big by simplifying a process that has been
around for a while, but mostly in high-tech circles. There are free
downloads available, like Video LAN, that let you stream any video
signal (as well as pictures and music) from your home PC over the
Internet, but these applications typically require a host PC along with a
deeper level of technological expertise than the general public is
comfortable with. The Sling box offers place shifting functionality in a
device that's about as complicated to set up as a cable box and doesn't
require a host computer. Sling box is flying off the shelves because it
makes remote viewing accessible to the masses.
Sony's Location Free TV is a comparable product it's $200 and it has
very similar functionality. In addition to computers, Location Free TV
also directs a video signal to a PSP. TiVo Desktop lets you watch your
pre-recorded TiVo programs on your PC, Internet-connected laptop or a
wide selection of handheld media players. If you have a TiVo Series 2
box or a TiVo HD DVR and you don't need to watch a show in real-time,
this could be a good way to go -- there's no additional hardware or service
fees involved. There are also some free downloads out there, such as Orb
and Video LAN, that let you watch your TV programming from a
computer. Video LAN is combination media player/server that supports
both Linux and Mac OS in addition to Windows machines, and Orb can
stream content to Web-enabled smart phones and PDAs in addition to
computers.
To stay ahead of the competition, Sling Media is in constant upgrade
mode. Sling Media offers an HD version of Sling box. The Solo and PRO
models can accept HD content, but they both down-convert the signal
into a standard definition format before streaming it to your device. Only
the Sling box PRO-HD can stream HD content to other devices.
Multi Jammer
Greater Noida institute of Technology, Greater Noida 65
The big issue right now surrounding "place shifting" TV is about
copyright and digital rights issues. Like the music and motion-picture
industries, the TV industry is concerned that people are going to be able
to access their product for free. In the case of Sling box, it's not just a
concern about one person subscribing to HBO and giving their friends
their Sling box access codes so they can watch "Rome" without paying
for it. The spatial nature of TV licensing adds another dimension to the
risk. TV stations typically purchase program rights for a specific region,
so "place shifting" the TV signal infringes on regional access rights for
certain shows. Sling Media says it's observing copyright and digital
media laws because the Sling box is a one-to-one transmission device.
Sling box owners can't broadcast a show to everyone they know. Only
one person can access a Sling box at a time, and if the device is used
properly, only the person who pays for the programming can watch it.
Only time will tell whether the TV industry will accept place shifting
technology like it ultimately accepted the "time shifting" capabilities of
TiVo and other DVRs. For more information on Sling box and related
topics, check out the links on the next page. Sling Catching Sling boxes
aren't the only products in Sling Media's arsenal. They also offer the Sling
Catcher, a device that can send content from the Internet (or a Sling box) .
