ABSTRACT

Students use mobile-phones to store lecture-materials, e books, tutorials, videos, communicate with their classmates and browse the internet for
exceedingly-different-intentions. These projected-advantages, however, would have potential-undesirable-effects if mobile-phones are utilized in
restricted-premises, such as exam-venues. In this paper, two systems, that will be used, independently, to detect mobile-phones in the exam-venues,
were proposed: a mobile-detector with a range of 1.0m, using resistor-capacitor-circuit, which can detect both the incoming and outgoing-calls, as
well as video-transmission and text messages, even if a mobile-phone is kept at the silent mode; and a Reed-switch circuit- scanner, which, responds
to an applied-magnetic-field and, can be used to detect mobile-phones that are switched-off or put on flight mode, and thus, it can be used to scan
students (without physical-inspection) on their entering examination-rooms. Overall, the results of this-concise-study are rather-positive, providing a
good starting- point for advanced investigations and improvements of the same.

1. INTRODUCTION

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are a diverse set of technological tools and resources, used to
communicate, and to create, disseminate, store and manage information. They include computers, internet,
broadcasting technologies (radio and television) and telephony (mobile-technology). ICTs are powerful-tools that
can increase access to improved and quality education. Hand-held-devices have enabled users to access and retain
great amounts of information for future references. In spite of the vital-role that is played by mobile-phones as a
learning-tool, there still are challenges that could originate from using mobile phones, such as cheating during
exams and distraction during lecture hours.

2. EXISTING SYSTEM

Mobile-phone uses RF ranging from700to2600MHzin the GSM (Global-System of Mobile communication) and
LTE (Long Term Evolution) bands that is the signal is high-frequency with huge-energy. When a mobile-phone is
active, it transmits the signal in the form of sinusoidal-wave which passes through the space. The encoded
audio/video signal contains electromagnetic- radiation which is picked up by the receiver in the base-station.
Mobile-phone system is referred to as “Cellular-Telephone-system” because the coverage-area is divided into
“cells”, each of which has a base-station.

3. PROPOSED SYSTEM

The construction of this small-size mobile-phone detector is rather-simple and not expensive. For the construction
to be understood and appreciated, a more-detailed description of the design is required using the diagrammatic-
representations. Ordinary LC circuits are used to detect low-frequency-radiation in the AM and FM bands. The
tuned-tank-circuit having a coil and a variable-capacitor retrieve the signal from the carrier-wave. But such LC-
circuits cannot detect high-frequency-waves near the micro-wave- region. Hence in the circuit, a capacitor is used
to detect RF from mobile-phone considering that, a capacitor can store energy even from an outside source. Here
the circuit uses 100 μF disk-capacitors to capture the RF-signals from the mobile-phone. Circuits were designed

and first tested on a breadboard; then the circuits were assembled on a general purpose PCB as compact as possible
and enclosed in a small box, looking like an old-primitive mobile phone

A printed circuit board is a self-contained-module of interconnected electronic-component found in devices from

common-beepers, or pagers, and radios to sophisticated-radar and computer-systems. The circuits formed by a thin
layer of conducting material deposited or printed on the surface of an insulating board known as the substrate.
Individual-electronic-components are placed on the surface of the substrate and soldered to the
interconnecting-circuit. After the print-out, the design on this special paper is then ironed onto the board, which
leaves the circuit-path on the board. The substrate is then etched leaving only the conducting-circuit-path on the
board, after this, the electronic-components are drilled and the whole-board is cleaned and ready for the
components to be placed into position.

4. RESULTS

A novel mobile-detector-sensing alarming and reporting system had a pivotal role to detect mobile-phones in
restricted-areas. All of the technologies outlined above have their-own-limitations; however, they also have a
common factor, that all of them are quite-inexpensive, especially for developing countries. This study is, therefore,
focuses on cost-effective mobile-phone-detectors that will be affordable for educational institutions in developing
countries.

5. CONCLUSION

In this project an attempt was made to design two-systems that will be used, independently, to detect mobile phones
in the exam-venues: a mobile-detector can detect both the incoming and outgoing-calls, as well as video
transmission and text messages, even if a mobile phone is kept at silent mode. Portable and lightweight, Easy to

handle and operate, Simple and easy to construct, Cost- effective with Less power consumption. It can be used to
prevent use of mobile-phones in examination halls, and for detecting the use of mobile-phones for spying and
unauthorized video transmission; it is also useful where the use of mobile-phone is prohibited or restricted; in
particular, it can be used for military and civil purposes to detect mobile phones, and it can be used in hospitals and
airplanes where, mobile signals interfere with the electronic-equipment, which may have fatal-consequences.
