Signal Jamming is a deliberate interference that disrupts wireless communications by emitting radio frequency signals on the same frequency as the targeted device, causing the device to lose connection or function improperly.
Signal Jamming Definition: Signal Jamming is a deliberate interference that disrupts wireless communications by emitting radio frequency signals on the same frequency as the targeted device, causing the device to lose connection or function improperly.
Signal jamming is a deliberate interference technique employed to disrupt wireless communications by overpowering or obstructing radio frequencies used by devices to transmit and receive data. This can prevent the proper functioning of wireless networks, devices, or communication systems. Jamming can be conducted using specialized equipment that emits high-energy signals on the same frequencies as the targeted network, leading to significant disruptions in signal reception and transmission.
