Sir,
I want to know whether it's possible to know the mobile phone's place or position or detect the called subscriber's place by means of any electronic circuit. If any please let me know.
Not unless you have access to the mobile phone company's wireless network to get signal strengths of that call from their towers... and there's no way you could get that kind of access unless you worked at the phone company and did that sort of thing for your job, and even then, you'd probably be fired if they found out you were trying to track mobile phone users for your own purposes :lol:
If the phone is equipped with a GPS then the phone would know where it is - and could report the position automatically or when queried if properly equipped and configured. I think there are some phones/systems that have this feature now. I know there is some interest in this for emergency calls and locating a caller.
Some ham radio operators have had these systems in place for some time on tranceivers - that either automatically report last known GPS position or respond to queries by the base station.
As already mentioned - the cell phone provider's equipment knows which cell you are connected to at any given moment but that information is unlikely to be made available to anyone other than law enforcement. That would only get you close - within a few blocks possibly. Additional measures would have to be taken to be more precise.
