Abstract

A common threat to military personnel in Iraq is the use of unconventional warfare. Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are crudely fashioned using explosives wired to consumer radio electronics. Garage door openers, two-way radios, and mobile telephones are a small sampling of the devices used in IEDs. The diverse nature of these devices makes it difficult to preemptively detect an IED using traditional means. Various methods of mobile phone detection are investigated, taking into account the type of phone and the available detection equipment. Specifically, a first-generation mobile phone is detected using an oscilloscope and MATLAB.
