As a brief side note - eBay is full of gps jammers for
drivers (or spouses) that don't want their whereabouts
known.  They are small 1.5ghz transmitters with a
range of a few 100 feet that disable gps trackers and
APRS type systems...

Hi Tom:

I've also seen the three antenna version on the asian discount web pages.
Do you know if any of them have test reports?
I question of the one that looks like a cigarette lighter with a 1" whip 
antenna can do much.

Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke

10 km radius have been measured with similar properties.

Cheers,

It really doesn't take much!

One of my favorite GPS jamming incidents of public record is the one at
the link:

For another look at things, please see:

Bringing this back on the topic of time :)  The Fall 2007 issue of the
magazine "Inside GNSS" has an interesting article "Fuzzy Time -
GPS-Based Synchronizers in the Presence of Interference"  For a CW
signal, a GPS timing receiver's performance begins to degrade when the
interfering signal is at a level of -87 dBm.  With an FM interference
source, it starts to degrade at -106 dBm.  Well worth the read if you
can find this magazine.

1 over R-squared makes a huge difference.

I'm always amazed when I get reminders like this one.
