The post describes a simple homemade RF signal jammer circuit that can be used for jamming any RF
signal within a radial range of 10 meters. The idea was requested by one of the interested readers of
this blog.

eventually be welcomed by just about everyone now alive.

There is a growing community of victims of electronic harassment. We all experience an invasion of


our personal lives/finances and private conversations, and are sometimes physically stalked and
attacked.

Due to the nature of electronic harassment, it will take time for justice and protection to catch up
and solve the problem. As for electronics, some circuits to control the misuse of flux & solder are
long overdue in the marketplace.

Up until now, most of the interest has been placed on projects of invasion and abuse, such as those
contained on many different website

I am not overly skilled in electronics, and only come to it in self defense. I am self taught and can
follow a schematic and complete a project, and am slowly gaining understanding of the underlying
theory.

Please advise regarding your interest to help, and your financial requirements. I look forward to
hearing from you.

Introduction
A simple looking RF signal jammer circuit can be seen in the above diagram, which may be capable of
jamming all sorts RF signal within the range of 5 to 10 meters.

The circuit can be made suitable with any desired frequency to be jammed by merely using different
sets of L1/L2 and by tweaking the 22pF trimmers accordingly.

The frequency that could be jammed using this circuit could be well in the range of 50 MHz to 1Ghz,
however making it compatible with frequencies above 500 MHz could get much complex and
parameters much critical owing to the fact that higher frequencies require shorter interconnections
and may involve other stability issues.

The present design can be used for jamming FM radio stations situated in the within 40 meters radial
distance or even higher.

The circuity of the proposed RF signal jammer is basically made of two distinct stages:

RF Circuit Stages
The one comprising T1 and the associated parts form the RF oscillator stage while the other stage
consisting of T2 and the complementing parts for amplifying and transmitting the low voltage
oscillations from T1 into the air.

The above strong RF carrier signals transmitted by T2 may be appropriately modulated with any
external frequency such as an audio or speech by feeding the signal across the terminal indicated
"Test".

The circuit is highly stable and doesn't falter with varying input supply voltages due to the presence of
the 78L05 voltage regulator at the base of T1 which clamps the base of T1 with a constant biasing
current making sure that the oscillations created by the T1 stage stays very stable and consistent.

The above feature is perfectly complemented by the T2 stage which accepts the oscillations from the
T1 stage and amplifies and transforms the signals with much higher current so that the signals are
able to travel across larger radial distances in the air.

However in order to implement an optimal transmission of the signals, 50 OHM impedance antenna

meter would also do but would reduce the transmission strength by about 60 % making the unit much
inefficient as far as the transmission range is concerned.

How to Peak the Resonance


The performance of the RF jammer could be highly improved by adjusting the presets to produce peak
resonance. This can be done with the following points:

1. Connect a 0 - 10V DC voltmeter across the point "test" and the ground line.
2. Adjust the right side 22p trimmer such that the meter reads around a maximum of 3V on the
meter.
3. This might disturb the initial frequency of the system that you might have set for the jamming
purpose.
4. So go back to the left side 22p trimmer and fine tune it again to set the desired frequency back
into place.

Your peak resonance for the circuit is set now, and you can expect maximum efficiency from it.

RF Jammer Coil Specifications


For making the RF jammer compatible with other frequencies, the coil L1 and L2 must be shortened in
terms of their number of turns and/or also the diameter...this will need some experimentation until the
right frequency is determined.

The adjoining trimmers may also tweaked for getting an optimal response from the jammer circuit or
until a perfect jamming is achieved through the circuit.

A good quality, well designed PCB is strictly recommended for constructing the RF jammer circuit

For jamming standard FM broadcasts within a range of 50 meters, L1 and L2 may be built as
indicated in the following images:

This is still very illegal to do. If a radio wave cant make it from the outside limit of your property to the
opposite side you can still be charge. Get a VPN and an alarm system instead, that should protect your
privacy and alert you to intruders/record trespassers at the same time without putting you in the slammer
for a long time.

If you make it practically it will surely work, simulators are not always accurate with their results….it
is tested design for jamming FM radios.

I once accidentally put a 13 db antenna made for 5ghz wifi on a 2.4 ghz wifi device. It effectively
blocked all 2.4ghz communication for a good area around. Well enough that I was obliged to get in the
car.

Maybe this could be a cheap uncomplicated alternative.

please comment.

Sound very interesting, if it worked for you then it should be worth trying for all who may be
interested to accomplish identical results.

Thanks for the useful feedback!

Abdurrehman says

With the new antenna the 2.4 ghz frequency, which previously carried data, now must have turned
into a noisy signal. Therefore it must have acted as a signal jammer for all other 2.4 ghz devices
receiving and sending data at that very frequency.

Sir what do you think? Can replacement of a mere antenna turn a good old router into a jamming
device?

I’m looking for something that is directional and can jam wireless microphones that operate in the 830-
860mhz range. I don’t care if it bleeds over that, and I don’t need to be able to hijack the mic output. I
just need to be able to step on their mic output and stop them using their wireless mics for broadcasting
their shit all over our town via loudspeaker. Something that will run on 12 or 24v would be ideal, so I can
power it from my truck. I have two batteries and about a 40A alternator so I can put some current out. I
can get to within 30 to 50m from the location without interference.

Swagatam,

just wanted to take the time to thank you for this post!!! I am also a TI & am building my own devices. I
am perhaps much newer to the subject than you, but have been a victim for many years. I started with
pc, learning ins and outs, & studied negative ions, made orgonite, human physiology, & now my journey
has brought me to breadboard like yourself. I was interested to know if there is a simple solution like
building a back scatter reciever or a reciever with bandwidth uhf down to sonic with a storage of said
energy that will simply dissipate through resistor? Like I said I am new to this & need some basic general
electrical rule education.

2N2222 can work with up to 100 MHz frequency whereas 2N2369 is rated at 500 MHz. If 2N2222 is
used then the frequency cannot be over 100 MHz.

The tracks must have maximum width such that turns are separated by only 0.5 mm gap.

How to increase the range of the jammer

Would it be possible to tune it to the 125-135 kHz range ?

Reply

Swagatam says

yes, by using larger value for the 22pF trimmer

luto65 says

I was wondering, if by using a 555 or some other IC one could simplify the circuit. Furthermore, in
my case I would like to selectively focus on a specific frequency range, could that perhaps be used to
simplify it further ?

Reply

Swagatam says

Transistors are better suited for high frequency switching and transmission, so I don’t think IC 555
will be appropriate for this application.
