This document describes the design and implementation of a microcontroller-based RF remote control wall socket. The wall socket can be turned on and off remotely using an RF remote control. The system uses a microcontroller interfaced with an RF transmitter and receiver module. The received RF signals are decoded by the microcontroller to turn a relay on or off, which then opens or closes the wall socket circuit. The remote control operation is not dependent on line of sight like infrared remotes. The design aims to allow remote control of electronic devices connected to the wall socket from both inside and outside a room.

This handy mobile bug or cell phone detector, pocket-size mobile transmission detector or sniffer can sense the presence of an activated mobile cellphone from a distance of one and-a-half metres. So it can be used to prevent use of mobile phones in examination halls, confidential rooms, etc. It is also useful for detecting the use of mobile phone for spying and unauthorised video transmission.
The circuit can detect both the incoming and outgoing calls, SMS and video transmission even if the mobile phone is kept in the silent mode. The moment the bug detects RF transmission signal from an activated mobile phone, it starts sounding a beep alarm and the LED blinks. The alarm continues until the signal transmission ceases.
This is to design a circuit such that one can control home or industrial appliance using the help of remote. This circuit can be used to any of your home appliances (lamp, fan, radio, etc.) to make the appliance turn on/off from a TV remote control.
Using remote to control appliances reduces human efforts without compromising on efficiency. It also saves time. Infrared (IR) light is an electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength longer than that of visible light, measured from the nominal edge of visible red light at 0.7 μm and extending conventionally to 300 μm,. These radiations with a frequency below our eyes sensitivity cannot be seen, but can only be felt by our skin temperature sensors. Infrared is interesting, because it is easily generated and doesn't suffer electromagnetic interference and so it is widely used in communication and control circuits. The adventure of using lots of infrared in TV remote controls helped engineers to work on innovative projects like controlling home appliances using TV remotes etc. Receiver in the circuit receives pulsed IR rays from the remote and decoded signal is thus received by relay driver whose output activates the corresponding home appliance. According to this, it makes sense that the logical direction about managing home appliances (HASs) in the near future is going to be by means of a remote control. But wireless technologies in domestics should be implemented carefully.
A cell phone detector is a device which detects any cell phone at any examination hall,meetings and any other place whenever required. This is a very useful device in modern time whenever unwanted activities are growing due to cell phone. In this presentation we covered principle,components, working and assembling of all components including advantages of this device.

Remote Switching System for home appliances
In past days Infrared and cable Synchronizing were used instead of Bluetooth. The major drawbacks in these two are in infrared the TX and Rx have to be lined up with each other, Interference between devices is uncommon. The cable synchronizing is a little more troublesome than infrared. So to overcome these problems RF Wireless Transmitter & Receiver Modules were Used.
Description of the Project:
This project is used to automate the house and the same can be applied to an industry also. This project has a provision for Switching of house hold devices like Fan, Tube lights, Televisions etc through telephone from a remote handheld device from anywhere in the house. This is achieved with the use of an Embedded Microcontroller and a RF TX and RX Module. The handheld device has a keypad which is used to switch on or switch off a device.
In IoT applications, BLE frequency, 433MHz frequency, Wi-Fi frequency, 2.4GHz frequency, GPS frequency, GPRS frequency, LoRa frequency, NB-IoT frequency, etc. are often mentioned technologies. Among them, 433MHz frequency has a wide range of applications but is not well known. In this article, we will start from a few basic knowledge points to introduce 433MHz frequency.
Wireless radio frequency is a kind of non-contact automatic identification technology that emerged in the 1990s of the 20th century and is a kind of wireless communication technology with close distance, low complexity, low power consumption, low data rate, and low cost.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric

Abstract: This research work presents the design and implementation of a microcontroller based RF remote
control 13Amp wall socket. The project is designed to control electronic devices that are connected to an ac
power supply through the RF remote wall socket by turning the wall socket ON/OFF using the RF remote
control whose operation is independent of the direction/positioned, unlike the Infra red remote control which
uses” line of sight” . The project consists of the 89c52 microcontroller interfaced with” KYL-500S” micro
power wireless transceiver data module and connected with an electromagnetic relay which turns the switch
OFF with open contact and turns it ON with closed contact. The remote control transmits radio frequency
signals which are received by the receiver of the wall socket and decoded by the microcontroller which now
turns the relay ON or OFF.
Key Words: microcontroller, input switch, RF transmitter, RF receiver, etc.
I. Introduction
The recent developments in technology which permit the use of radio frequency(RF) technology such
as Bluetooth, and radio spectrum have enabled different devices to have capabilities of communicating with
each other. Radio frequency(RF) is a new technology, which has at its center, the goal of eliminating wired
communication among electronic devices. Instead of connecting with wires, every appliance has small RF
transmitters/receivers. The radio frequency used (2.4GHz) is so high that the range of transmission will be small
(about 30 feet). This is important because the range is so small, that it can be used in apartments without much
interference to your neighbors or from them. These are few reasons that make Bluetooth technology ideal for
home automation. This analogy motivated the idea behind this work.
Radio frequency(RF) remote control is today’s fact, where things are being controlled non-
directionally, breaking barriers, [not being affected by an object in front of the receiving device] and usually do
the basic tasks of turning on/off certain devices and beyond, either remotely or in close proximity. Radio
frequency remote control lowers the human stress in adjusting or moving around, just to operate a simple digital
electronic device to the lowest degree possible but does not completely eliminate it. The concept of remote
controlling of household devices over the radio frequency spectrum from any direction, any time in the world
today is a reality. Assume a system where from the office desk, the user could operate another system in
different offices independent of the direction or position.
An RF remote control wall socket focuses on controlling home electronic devices whether you are
inside or outside your room. RF remote control wall socket gives an individual the ability to remotely or
automatically control things around the home without moving from place to place. A home appliance is a device
or instrument designed to perform a specific function, especially an electrical device, such as a refrigerator, for
household use.
II. System Design.
This work utilizes RF transmitter and receiver module to control a 13Amp socket. In other words, we
can turn the socket ON/OFF from any remote location. To demonstrate the efficiency of the system, an electro-
mechanical relay switch is used to connect the required socket to an AC source. The system is design in such a
way as to send and receives data serially.

III. Power Consumption/ Requirement
The factory default setting is +5V (3.3-3.6V will inform when placing the order).By using better ripple
factor, KYL-500S transceivers can also share power supply with other equipment. If possible, a voltage-
stabilizing chip with 5V voltage is more recommended as the only power supply than Switch power supply. But
if only switch power supply available, the jam by switch pulse to the transceivers should be avoided. In addition,
the reliable grounding must be used if there is other device in the system equipment. In case of failing to connect
with the ground, it can form its own grounding but must be absolutely separated from the municipal electric
supply.
How RF Remote Control Works
A radio-frequency remote control, or RF remote, uses radio waves to transmit a signal to an electronic
device. RF remotes are very common; they're used in devices such as garage door openers, remote control
toys and remote car-entry key, remote wall sockets, etc.
An RF remote encodes commands in binary form. The commands are sent via the radio waves to devices on
the receiving end -- say, a DVD player -- that decode the commands and send them to the right place
(volume up/down, etc.). A useful feature of RF remotes that sets them apart from infrared (IR) remotes is
they can transmit signals up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) and can travel through walls and furniture. IR remotes,
however, can only go 30 feet (9 meters) and need line of sight.
Instead of sending out light signals, an RF remote transmits radio waves that correspond to the binary
command for the button you're pushing. A radio receiver on the controlled device receives the signal and
decodes it. The problem with RF remotes is the sheer number of radio signals flying through the air at any
given time. Cell phones, walkie-talkies, WiFi setups and cordless phones are all transmitting radio signals at
varying frequencies. RF remotes address the interference issue by transmitting at specific radio frequencies
and by embedding digital address codes in the radio signal. This lets the radio receiver on the intended
device know when to respond to the signal and when to ignore it.

IV. Power Supplies
In this work, the power supply is designed to convert high voltage AC mains electricity to a suitable
low voltage supply for electronic circuits and other devices. For this work, below is the block breakdown of the
5V regulated power supply.
Each of the blocks is described in more detail below:
Transformer - steps down high voltage AC mains to low voltage AC.
Rectifier - converts AC to DC, but the DC output is varying.
Smoothing - smoothes the DC from varying greatly to a small ripple.
Regulator - eliminates ripple by setting DC output to a fixed voltage.
Power supplies made from these blocks are described below with a circuit diagram and a graph of their output:
Transformer only

V. Conclusion.
RF remote wall socket is one of the most common real-world digital wireless gadgets that help to
determine the state of our electronic devices, either ON or OFF. Many electronic devices used in both homes
and offices depend on wall sockets to plug in, and get connected the power source. Some electronic devices do
not have a power switch to switch them ON/OFF such as electric boiling ring. Such equipment depends only on
the wall socket to switch them ON/FF at desired times. This have demonstrated the importance of the wall
socket. This is the reason why the RF remote wall socket is implemented to replace the old wall sockets and
add more functionality to wall sockets and to make it more flexible since the user does not need to move from
place to place trying to switch ON/OFF. The signal transmitted by the remote is strong enough to penetrate
through the walls and pass through other obstacles. It can also operate from a distance of about 100 meters and
above, and therefore better and more flexible to use, since it is non-directional, unlike the Infrared remote
controls that use line of site to function. This work provides a more flexible and functional alternative to the
current commercial systems in controlling electronic devices in use, both in homes, offices, laboratory and in
industrial places. The method employed in the whole process of designing this project can best be described as
sequential approach to construction of an electronic circuit, which is same as the hardware. Thus, it will
increase the accuracy and control of electronic appliances as opposed to the use of the old commercial wall
socket.
