INTRODUCTION
GSM based Control System implements the emerging
applications of the GSM technology. Using GSM networks, a
control system has been proposed that will act as an embedded
system which can monitor and control appliances and other
devices locally using built-in input and output peripherals.
Remotely, the system allows the user to effectively monitor and
control the house/office appliances and equipment via the
mobile phone set by sending commands. The main concept
behind the project is receiving the sent command and
processing it further as required to perform several operations.
The type of the operation to be performed depends on the
nature of the command sent. The principle in which the project
is based is fairly simple. The block diagram of the system is
shown in figure 1 below;
A) CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
The complete circuit consists of the power supply unit, the
DTMF decoding stage and micro-controlled relay switching
sections. The power supply supplies the DTMF decoder. It is
seen that the DTMF tones from the mobile phone is coupled
through a transformer. This ensures electrical isolation between
the phone line and the rest of the circuit. It equally steps up the
signal to an appreciable level enough to bias the differential
input of the decoder (though the decoder is highly sensitive).
Careful measurements of the DTMF signal output level of
different NOKIA phones revealed that the audio output level is
relative to the different phone models. Taking NOKIA 2300 as
an instance, 5mV was obtained as its audio output level as
compared to 2.3mV in NOKIA 2600. Thus, the addition of a
