This document describes a mobile bug circuit that can detect signals from activated mobile phones within 8-10 meters. The circuit uses a capacitor to capture radio frequency signals from mobile phones. When a signal is detected, an op-amp converts the current to a voltage that triggers a timer chip connected to a buzzer and LED. The mobile bug is compact and portable, allowing it to prevent mobile phone use in exam halls and detect unauthorized spying. It can detect calls, texts and video transmission from phones in silent mode.
