A Mobile Jammer Circuit or a Cell Phone Jammer Circuit is an instrument or device that can prevent the reception of signals by Mobile Phones. Basically, a Mobile Network Jammer Circuit is an RF Transmitter, which broadcasts Radio Signals in the same (or similar) frequency range of the GSM Communication.
WARNING: Blocking or Jamming Radio Signals is illegal in most countries. Check your local laws before using such devices. This information is provided for educational purposes only and should not be used to build an actual jammer.
In this project, I have designed two Mobile Jammer Circuits, where the first one is using a 555 Timer IC and the other one is built using active and passive components.
How To Make Mobile Jammer Circuit?
Building a mobile jammer requires a deep understanding of radio frequency (RF) engineering in Electronics. It involves complex circuit design, component selection, and testing. Essential components include oscillators, power amplifiers, antennas, and filters. Circuit design requires precise calculations.

Mobile Jammer Circuit Operation
After building this circuit on a perf board and supplying power to it, I have placed a mobile phone near the circuit (I am yet to turn on the switch). Before turning on the power, my mobile phone was able to capture majority of the signals as it is displaying full bars.
Once I turned on the circuit, the signal bars on the phone started to reduce and finally it stopped at a single bar.
So, in conclusion, I can say that this circuit blocks the signals but cannot completely jam them.
Circuit 2: Simple Mobile Jammer Circuit Diagram
Cell Phone Jammer Circuit Explanation
If you understand the above circuit, this circuit analysis is simple and easy. For any network jammer circuit, remember that there are three main important circuits. When they are combined together, the output of that circuit will work as a jammer. The three circuits are
- RF amplifier.
- Voltage controlled oscillator.
- Tuning circuit.
So the transistor Q1, capacitors C4 & C5 and resistor R1 constitute the RF amplifier circuit. This will amplify the signal generated by the tuned circuit. The amplification signal is given to the antenna through C6 capacitor. Capacitor C6 will remove the DC and allow only the AC signal which is transmitted in the air.
When the transistor Q1 is turned ON, the tuned circuit at the collector will get turned ON. The tuned circuit consists of capacitor C1 and inductor L1. This tuned circuit will act as an oscillator with zero resistance.
This oscillator or tuned circuit will produce the very high frequency with minimum damping. The both inductor and capacitor of tuned circuit will oscillate at its resonating frequency.
The tuned circuit operation is very simple and easy to understand. When the circuit gets ON, the voltage is stored by the capacitor according to its capacity. The main function of capacitor is to store electric energy. Once the capacitor is completely charged, it will allow the charge to flow through inductor. We know that inductor is used to store magnetic energy. When the current is flowing across the inductor, it will store the magnetic energy by this voltage across the capacitor and will get decreased, at some point complete magnetic energy is stored by inductor and the charge or voltage across the capacitor will be zero.
The magnetic charge through the inductor will decreased and the current will charge the capacitor in opposite or reverse polarity manner. Again after some period of time, capacitor will get completely charged and magnetic energy across the inductor will be completely zero. Again the capacitor will give charge to the inductor and becomes zero. After some time, inductor will give charge to capacitor and become zero and they will oscillate and generate the frequency.
This circle run upto the internal resistance is generated and oscillations will get stop. RF amplifier feed is given through the capacitor C5 to the collector terminal before C6 for gain or like a boost signal to the tuned circuit signal. The capacitors C2 and C3 are used for generating the noise for the frequency generated by the tuned circuit. Capacitors C2 and C3 will generate the electronic pulses in some random fashion (technically called noise).
The feedback back or boost given by the RF amplifier, frequency generated by the tuned circuit, the noise signal generated by the capacitors C2 and C3 will be combined, amplified and transmitted to the air.
Cell phone works at the frequency of 450 MHz frequency. To block this 450MHz frequency, we also need to generate 450Mhz frequency with some noise which will act as simple blocking signal, because cell phone receiver will not be able to understand to which signal it has been received. By this, we can able to block the cell phone signal from reaching the cell phones.
So here in the above circuit, we generated the 450 MHz frequency to block the actual cell phone signal. That’s what the above circuit will act as a jammer for blocking the actual signal.
You can also get good idea about another jammer circuit i.e. How TV Remote Control Jammer Circuit Works?
Note:
- This circuit will work in the range of 100 meters i.e. it can block the signals of cell phones with in 100 meters radius.
- Usage of this type of circuits is banned in most of the countries. Usage of this circuit is illegal and if you caught by using this circuit, you can be imprisoned and also should pay large amount in the form of fine.
- This circuit can be used in TV transmission and also for remote controlled toys or play things.
- If the circuit is not working, just increase the resistor and capacitors values in the circuit. Increase the frequency of tuned circuit by using this formula F= 1/ (2*pi*sqrt (L*C)). Increase the inductor capacitor circuit components value for increasing the frequency.

How to make 22nH Inductor? i can’t find in my country that inductor.
simpli you wound the wire proper value and check by using meters you can et bcz i did
Is the project worked..?
i like this circuit but i am still confused that what kind of antena wil be use.
for all its depend on you which type of antenna u have to use because the antenna will transmit or receive the signal which is the output/input of your circuit. so you are engineer or google it and check the output of you circuit and by using Dipole length formula (antenna length )
Length (meters) = 150 x A / frequency in MHz
Length (inches) = 5905 x A / frequency in MHz
there are many type of antenna and the work same as it but they have some feature example
Radio antenna (mono pole antenna)= it transmit and receive signal from 360 degree
but if u use YAGI UDDA antenna it transmit and recevie the signal from one direction there fore in old time u people use this antenna and rotate them to take a single and best signal from one direction for more please google it u can get more knowledge from there.
i am also really intrested in this jammer but i am still confued about the component. so can you please give me the part list of this circuit ?

how to make 22nH antenna
22nh is not an antenna it’s an inductor
which type of antena should we use
Your circuit produces noise of frequency 450MHz, whereas most of the countries use 900~1800MHz bands for GSM communication. Can you help me out with the corresponding component values for the same?
this is..not the correct circuit diagram…it is not..working…even though i made it
where did u get the antennna pls reply me
you might want to do a little more research….the last time i checked the cell phone frequencies world over are around 800/1800/1900mhz so jamming 450 will do didly squat to cell phones but it will seriously piss of radio amateurs in the 70cm band.

please i am from nigeria..i want to know how many number of turns and swg of the conductor.and cross sectonal area.for the 22nh inductor.am doing it as my project.help me pleas
thanks, Now i can Make my own Network Jammer
did it finally work? and are there major changes you made to the circuit or did u use the one given ?
kindly assist me make one
does it work
Using F= 1/ (2*pi*sqrt (L*C)). This equation can I work this circut above 1000hz frequncy?
“If the circuit is not working, just increase the resistor and capacitors values in the circuit. Increase the frequency of tuned circuit by using this formula F= 1/ (2*pi*sqrt (L*C)).
Increase the inductor capacitor circuit components value for increasing the frequency.”
Yet running F= 1/ (2*pi*sqrt (L*C)) in this schematic (tuning circuit) yields a frequency of 277053.19427199627 Hz (0.27705319427199626 MHz)…..not 450Mhz, nor GSM1900 with frequency from 1930 MHz – 1990 MHz.
To get close to 450 MHz you need a combo like 21pf & 6nH, or 1pf & 125nH)
To get close to the 1930-1990 range you need 3pf & 2nH or 13pf & .5nH or 36pf & .2nH, etc.).
I’m no circuitician, but it seem, as above, if you used a 200pH inductor (aka .2nH) you could then use a tunable cap, with a range of max 35pf (1902.265MHz) to min 31pf (2021.269 MHz) to sweep & cover the full range of 1930-1990MHz.
sir,can you list the components and how to increase the frequency range.
May i know the inductor specifications which is used in jammer circuit or else could you please send me a link to buy that inductor.i don’t have much time please give reply as early as possible
What is the antenna name
i am trying now
What is the spec’s of the inductor for this critical? Output depends on this plzz reply asap
Dunno if folks are aware but using this thing in at least the United States is hardcore illegal and can get you in serious trouble with the FCC (or CISPR if you live in Europe). I say that as an electrical engineer who works in EMC, EMI, and RF testing for a living. Unless you like threats of large fines, be extremely careful where you use this if you live in the US.
