1.INTRODUCTION: -
The most common electronic equipment used now-a-days is Cell Phone
or Mobile Phone. With advancement in communication technology, the
requirement of cell phones has increased dramatically. A cell phone
typically transmits and receives signals in the frequency range of 0.9 to
3GHz. This article provides a simple circuit to detect the presence of
an activated cell phone by detecting these signals.
We can design two ways that act as Cell Phone Detector Circuit, one
using a combination of Schottky Diode and a Voltage Comparator and
the other using a BiCMOS Op-Amp.

2.CIRCUIT COMPONENTS: -

 CA3130 Op-Amp
 Resistors – 2.2MΩ x 2, 100KΩ, 1KΩ
 Capacitors – 22pF x 2, 0.22nF, 47pF, 100µF
 BC548 NPN Transistor
 LED
 Antenna
 Connecting Wires
 Breadboard
 9V Battery

4.WORKING: -

The Op-amp part of the circuit acts as the RF Signal Detector while
Transistor part of the circuit act as the indicator. The capacitors
collection along with the antenna are used to detect RF Signals when a
cell phone makes (or receives) a phone call or sends (or receives) a text
message.

Op-Amp reads the signals by converting the rise in current at input to


voltage at output and the LED will be activated.

5.OPERATION: -
In normal condition, when there is no RF signal, the voltage across the
diode will be negligible. Even though this voltage is amplified by the
transistor amplifier, yet the output voltage is less than the reference
voltage, which is applied to the inverting terminal of the comparator.
Since the voltage at non inverting terminal of the OPAMP is less than
the voltage at the inverting terminal, the output of the OPAMP is low
logic signal.

Now when a mobile phone is present near the signal, a voltage is


induced in the choke and the signal is demodulated by the diode. This
input voltage is amplified by the common emitter transistor. The output
voltage is such that it is more than the reference output voltage. The
output of the OPAMP is thus a logic high signal and the LED starts
glowing, to indicate the presence of a mobile phone. The circuit has to
be placed centimeters away from the object to be detected.

6.APPLICATIONS: -
1. This circuit can be used at examination halls, meetings to detect
presence of mobile phones and prevent the use of cell phones.
2. It can be used for detecting mobile phones used for spying and
unauthorized transmission of audio and video.
3. It can be used to detect stolen mobile phones.

7.LIMITATIONS: -
1. It is a low range detector, of the order of centimetres.
2. The Schottky diode with higher barrier height is less sensitive to
small signals.
