INTRODUCTION
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 receiving mode and
will intelligently choose to interact and block the cell phone directly if it is
within close proximity of the jammer.
This selective jamming technique uses a discriminating receiver to target
the jamming transmitter. The benefit of such targeting selectivity is much less
electromagnetic pollution in terms of raw power transmitted and frequency
spectrum from the jammer, and therefore much less disruptive to passing traffic.
The jam signal would only stay on as long as the mobile continues to make a
link with the base station, otherwise there would be no jamming transmission –
the technique forces the link to break or unhook and then it retreats to a passive
receive mode again.
This technique could be implemented without cooperation from
PCS/cellular providers, but could negatively impact PCS/cellular system
operation. This technique has an added advantage over Type B in that no added
overhead time or effort is spent negotiating with the cellular network. As well as
Type B, this device could discriminate 911 calls and allow for breakthroughs”
during emergencies.
The above Equation indicates that the jammer Effective Radiated Power,
which is the product of antenna gain and output power, should be high if
jamming efficiency is required. On the other hand, in order to pr event jamming,
the antenna gain toward the communication partner should be as high as
possible while the gain towards the jammer should be as small as possible. As
the equation shows, the antenna pattern, the relation between the azimuth and
the gain, is a very important aspect in jamming.
Also as we know from Microwave and shown in the equation distance
has a strong influence on the signal loss. If the distance between jammer and
receiver is doubled, the jammer has to quadruple its output in order for the
jamming to have the same effect. It must also be noted here the jammer path
loss is often different from the communications path loss; hence gives jammer
an advantage over communication transmitters. In the GSM network, the Base
Station Subsystem (BSS) takes care of the radio resources. In addition to Base
Transceiver Station (BTS), the actual RF transceiver, BSS consists of three
parts. These are the Base Station Controller (BSC), which is in charge of
mobility management and signaling on the Air-interface between Mobile
Station (MS), the BTS, and the Air-interface between BSS and Mobile Services
Switching Center (MSC).
The GSM Air-interface uses two different multiplexing schemes: TDMA
(Time Division Multiple Access) and FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple
Access). The spectrum is divided into 200 kHz channels (FDMA) and each
channel is divided into 8 timeslots (TDMA). Each 8 timeslot TDMA frame has
duration of 4.6 ms (577 s/timeslot) [3].

1 IF-SECTION
Our requirement is to have a 110 KHz wave for which we have used a
555 timer IC. The 555 timer is used in the astable multivibrator mode. It
basically consists of two comparators, a flip-flop, a discharge transistors and a
resistive voltage divider to set the voltages at different comparator levels. The
figure (2) shows the 555 timer connected to operate in the astable multivibrator
mode as a non-sinusoidal oscillator.
The 555 timer consists basically of two comparators, a flip-flop, a
discharge transistor, and a resistive voltage divider. The resistive divider is used
to set the voltage comparator levels all three comparator levels. A 555 timer
connected to operate in the astable mode as a free-running non sinusoidal
oscillator (astable multivibrator).
The threshold input is connected to the trigger input. The external
components R 1, R2&Cex Form the timing circuit that sets the frequency of
oscillation. The 0.01uF capacitor connected to the control input is strictly for
decoupling and has no effect on the operation; in some cases it can be left off.
Initially, when the power is turned on, the capacitor Cex is uncharged and thus
Using the above equation for frequency equal 110 KHz, one can found
the values of R1(3.9K) , R2(3.9K) , and Cext(1nF). Then the output was taken
from the voltage on the external capacitor which has triangular wave form. A
simulation was done to verify the operation of circuit and the output is shown in
figure (3).
Figure 3: The output voltage on Cext To avoid loading the timing circuit
and changing the operating frequency, the triangular wave on the terminal of the
external capacitor was buffered using OP-Amp.
1.2 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,
unmodulated Continuous Wave RF carrier.
The noise generator used in this design is based on the avalanche noise
generated by a Zener breakdown phenomenon. It is created when a PN junction
is operated in the reverse breakdown mode. The avalanche noise is very similar
to shot noise, but much more intense and has a flat frequency spectrum (white).
The magnitude of the noise is difficult to predict due to its dependence on
the materials. Basically the noise generator circuit consists of a standard 6.8 volt
Zener diode with a small reverse current, a transistor buffer, and The National
LM386 audio amplifier which acts as a natural band-pass filter and mall-signal
amplifier. The output spectrum of the noise generator is shown in the figure (5).
The triangle wave and noise signals are mixed using Op-Amp configured
as summer, see figure (6). Then a DC voltage is added to the resulted signal to
obtain the required tuning voltage using Diode-Clamper circuit. Figure (7)
shows a diode clamper circuit with Bias. To gain good clamping the RC time.
The RF-section is the most important part of the mobile jammer it consist
of the
· Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
· RF Power amplifiers
· Antenna.
The VCO is responsible for generating the RF signal which will over
power the mobile downlink signal. The selection of the VCO was influenced by
two main factors, the frequency of the GSM system, which will be jammed and
the availability of the chip. For the first factor which implies that the VCO
should cover the frequencies from 935 MHz to 960 MHz, The MAX2623 VCO
from MAXIM IC was found to be a good choice, and fortunately the second
factor was met sequentially since MAXIM IC was willing to send two of the
MAX2623 for free. Figure 3: Maxim2623 typical connection The MAX2623
VCO is implemented as an LC oscillator configuration, integrating all of the
tank circuitry on-chip, this makes the VCO extremely easy-12 to-use, and the
tuning input is internally connected to the varactor as shown in figure (8). The
typical output power is -3dBm, and the output was best swept over the desired
range when the input tuning voltage was around 120 KHz.
2 RF POWER AMPLIFIER
For the desired output to be achieved, gain stages were needed. The
Hitachi PF08103B power amplifier module used in Nokia mobile phones
sufficiently amplifies signals between 800 MHz and 1 GHz by 34 dB. But the
recommended input in the datasheet is 1dBm. Due to this, another power
amplifier was used between the VCO and PF08103B, the MAR4SM amplifier
from Mini-Circuits. It has a gain of 8dB for frequencies from dc to 1 GHZ. This
made the output 5 dBm. A typical biasing configuration for the MAR4SM is
shown.
Figure (10): Typical biasing Configuration for the MAR-4SM
The bias current is delivered from a 9 V power supply through the
resistor Rbias and the RF choke. The effect of the resistor is to reduce the effect
of device voltage on the bias current by simulating a current source. Blocking
capacitors are required at the input and output ports. A bypass capacitor is used
at the connection to dc supply to prevent stray coupling to other signal
processing components. The biasing current is given by the following equation:
The design of MAR4SM was carried out on AppCAD. The results are
shown below
And for 50 ohm characteristic impedance, the values of the resistors were
found using the following equations:
