detecting mobile devices

Sep 11, 2005 3 Replies

Hi I am looking to build a circuit or to hack an existing device that can sense an incoming call or an out going call from a mobile device, from



5~4 meters

I was able to use normal gadget that blink when an incoming call is registered. The problem is that they don't work well with 3G phones like the Nokia



6630. Any ideas how can I build a circuit Or if there are existing devices on the market?

Thanks



Hi I don't want to listen to the conversation, I am building an art installation that talks about communication over mobile devices as a cultural phenomena As people use mobile devices around the art piece they activate it So any help will be appreciated

1: find out what frequencies the mobile devices operate on, (I think 3G is 2.4GHz) 2: build (or purchase) recieverrs for those frequencies. 3: adjuste the sensitivity of the receivers (or antennas) to detect only nearby devices.

Bye. Jasen
