3. Introduction
Mobile jammer is used to prevent mobile phones from receiving or
transmitting signals with the base stations.
Mobile jammers effectively disable mobile phones within the defined
regulated zones.
As with other radio jamming, mobile jammers block mobile phone use
by sending out radio waves along the same frequencies that mobile
phones use.
Upon activating mobile jammers, all mobile phones will indicate "NO
NETWORK". Incoming calls are blocked as if the mobile phone were
off.
When the mobile jammers are turned off, all mobile phones will
automatically re-establish communications and provide full service.

4. Jamming Technique
Spoofing :
In this kind of jamming, the device forces the mobile to turn off
itself.
Shielding Attacks
This is known as TEMPEST or EMF shielding. This kind requires
closing an area in a faraday cage so that any device inside this
cage can not transmit or receive RF signal from outside of the
cage.
Denial of Service
A jamming device transmits on the same radiofrequencies as the
cell phone, disrupting the communication between the phone
and the cell-phone base station.

5. Design Parameters
The frequency bands
GSM900:
Uplink: 890-915 MHz
Down link: 935-960 MHz
In our Design the frequency must be the same as the downlink because it
needs lower power to do jamming.
The Distance to be jammed(D)
This parameter is very useful in our design since the amount of the output
power of the jammer depends on the area we need to jam.
Our design is established upon D=2.0 m for GSM 900.

6. Design Parameters contd.
• 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.
• Free space loss {F}
The free-space loss (or path loss) is given by:
Path loss(dB)= 32.44 + 20 log d km + 20 log f(MHz)
The maximum free space loss (worst case F) happens
when the maximum frequency is used in the above equation.
Using 960 MHz gives:
F (dB) =32.44+20 log 0.02 + 20 log 960 which gives F =58 dB.

converted to digital signal.
•This digital signal is applied to Relay & LCD.
•The relay behave as a switch.
•The output of the Relay behaves as the i/p of the jammer circuit.
•The jammer circuit is activated for 60 sec (user specified).

11. Relay
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Current
flowing through the coil of the relay creates a magnetic field which
attracts a lever and changes the switch contacts. The coil current
can be on or off so relays have two switch positions and they are
double throw (changeover) switches.

20. Triangular Wave Generator
• The main use of the triangle wave is to sweep the VCO through the desired
frequency range.
• We want to cover the downlink through our VCO, i.e., 935-960 MHz .

21. Noise Generator
To achieve jamming a noise signal is mixed with the triangle wave signal
to produce the tuning voltage for the VCO. The noise will help in masking the jamming
transmission, making it look like random "noise” to an outside observer .Without the
noise generator, the jamming signal is just a sweeping, un-modulated Continuous Wave
RF carrier.

22. Signal mixer
The mixer here is just an amplifier that operates as a summer. So, the
noise and triangular wave will add together before entering the VCO.
24. VCO
The voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is the heart of
the RF-section. It is the device that generates the RF
signal which will interfere with the cell phone.
The output of the VCO has a frequency which
is proportional to the input voltage, thus, we can
control the output frequency by changing the input
voltage.

25. Power Amplifier
Since 5 dBm output powers from the VCO do not achieve the desired
output power of the GSM jammer, we had to add an amplifier with a
suitable gain to increase the VCO output to 34 dBm.

26. Antenna
A proper antenna is necessary to transmit the
jamming signal. In this project, we used three 1/4
wavelength monopole antennas, with 50 Ω input
impedance so that the antennas are matched to the
system. We used monopole antenna since the
radiation pattern is omni-directional.
GSM 900 antenna Specifications:
1. Frequency: 850MHz-1GHz
2. Input impedance 50Ω
3. VSWR<2
