Patent ID: 7982654

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a receiver for receiving a description of a first signal to be jammed, wherein the description comprises: (i) a minimum baud value, R min , of the first signal, (ii) a maximum baud value, R max , of the first signal, and (iii) a specification of frequency bands in which the frequency of the first signal can lie, wherein the number of frequency bands is B; a first transmitter for transmitting a second signal to jam the first signal, wherein (a) the frequency of transmission of the second signal is based on the minimum baud value R min , of the first signal, on the maximum baud value R max , of the first signal, and on the specification of frequency bands in which the frequency of the first signal can lie; (b) the second signal is transmitted into one of the frequency bands at a time; and (c) the second signal is transmitted into different frequency bands at different times according to a first temporal transmission pattern that is based on R min , R max , and B; wherein B is an integer greater than 1; and wherein R min and R max are positive real numbers and R min <R max .
