INTELLIGENT JAMMER

BACKGROUND

Telecommunication is a wide field that has been blooming lately. Mobile phone networks, for instance play a vital role in people’s everyday lives and the way that they can easily communicate with the rest of the world through voice calls, messages, internet, and other means of communication.  However, mobile phone networks can annoy the surrounding people. A big example is a professor in a classroom getting annoyed from the students’ usage of mobile phones in texting or getting distracted by the ringing phone calls and alerts. As a result to these issues, we have decided with our mentor, Dr. Joseph Boutros, to design an intelligent mobile phone networks jammer. A simple definition of the networks jammer is that it is a device that is used to prevent the mobile phone from receiving signals and therefore blocking networks. Early significant uses of jamming devices were implemented during wars, battles, and political conflicts. In his book “Military Communications: From Ancient Times to the 21st Century,” Sterling mentions that “The type of jamming probably best known to the public was the long-running Soviet political effort to jam incoming high-frequency shortwave broadcast (specifically those of Britain, West Germany, Israel, and the United States)."
