In this tutorial, we are demonstrating a project on a


Mobile Phone Detector. The mobile phone
detectors are generally pocket-size versatile
transmission detectors. It can detect the presence
of an activated mobile phone.
This is a project of a sensitive mobile phone
detector circuit using a CA3140 Op-Amp IC, a 555
timer IC and barely any other discrete segments.
The circuit can detect a cell phone from 8 to 10
meters away or more, you will find a different range
with various brands of a cell phones. This is one of
the easiest circuits for making such a responsive
mobile phone detector.

Working Explanation

In this section, we discuss the operation of the


mobile phone detector circuit. In this circuit, there
are two ICs, the IC1 is functioning as a signal
amplifier and IC2 is working as a time delay. At the
point when any mobile phone signal receives, the
555 timer IC will become activated and actuate a
LED and a piezo buzzer for a few seconds.
However, the circuit is likewise utilized for some
other reasons as well, it tends to utilize in places
where the mobile phone doesn’t allow it. For
example, at examination halls. It can likewise be
utilized to locate a lost mobile phone regardless of
whether the mobile phone is set to vibration alert or
on a low volume ringtone. The working voltage of
the circuit is 6V to 12V DC. You can likewise utilize
any small size batteries with the circuit.

The mobile detector utilizes to detect lost mobile


phones and at places where mobile phones are not
allowed like examination halls, meetings, etc.
