how easy would it be to build a gps jammer? Im curious but cant google shit cuz its illegal.
>>
>>107995863
Just google it you pussy.
>>
thank goodness it's perfectly legal to ask here
>>
>>107995876
i obviously did but there isnt anything cuz its illegal?

assuming you're underage you should know that this website is a honeypot and that the internet has been centralized for the past 15 years

Are you 12? Same way you build any jammer. GPS uses some wavelenght radio waves right? Any wave can be flooded with noise. Just search for the perfectly legal specs of what wavelength it uses (it will probably have some FCC warning "so make sure your ham radio never sends noise in these wavelengths or you'll fuck up the GPSerinos), and build a transmitter that does send loud shit on that frequency so the receptors can't hear the actual signal.

Fucking brainlets.

Theres a bit more to it than that, if you dont send your own valid signal form and just create a background noise signal (think white noise, or the dead air noise of old telephones but in the correct frequency band for a gps transceiver), all you've done is raise is noise floor and reduced the signal to noise ratio at the GPS receiver you are trying to jam. Depending on the sophistication of the receiver, this can be overcome with clever filtering that might already be baked into the device.

What im getting at is that a constant power, constant signal may not be enough to actually break the functionality of another device. There needs to be some clever logic to create fake signals that are overwhelming more powerful than the correct one. This gets you into another problem though, and radiation source follows the inverse square law, which makes detecting the source of the radiation a simple math formula once detectors in multiple locations are used. Any strong RF signal in any developed nation will immediately be located. Also, GPS transceivers are fingerprinted and heavily regulated in the US, you wont be buying anything that works the way you want it to anyways. This means you'll need to research how to build your own, which may or may not be possible using home methods (i doubt it).

Whatever it is you're trying to do here, just find a better method than building a felony device that probably wont even work.

No OP, however idk that building something that's doesn't work would be a felony, unless you're implying that it works, just not the way you'd hope it would.

Assuming you're in the US, intent is considered the holy grail of our justice department. Even if the formal written admission of intent is enough to get convicted of a crime in the US. This is often what cops are looking for during interviews and interrogations. The case will always stick if you just write down a few key words on a piece of paper and sign your name at the bottom.

For the purposes of this particular thought experiment, there are laws around frequencys people are allowed to transmit, and how powerful (transceiver wattage) of a signal you can transmit. If you get a license, you can transmit on more frequencies, and at higher amplitudes (power). Because of that funny little 'inverse square law' i mentioned earlier, amplitude/power falls off fast, and in order to send signals over long distances, they must be sent at a high power (wattage). In the early days of the radio boom, before we had regulation, there were a couple notable abuses of power. Literally, radio station owners were sending purely abusive levels of power out of their radio stations to cast the widest net and get the radio signal to the most listeners possible. Imagine an FM radio station you can tune into 1000 miles away. However, these very high power levels resulted in people near the station HEARING IT IN THEIR HEADS. The funny thing is every antenna picks up every frequency a little bit, and every wire also acts like an antenna. If you blast an FM radio station out at enough power, people near the antenna will hear it in their heads because their skulls act like an antenna, and people with metal fillings at the time could hear it clear as day, at all hours of the day and night.

Imagine having a radio station playing in your head 24/7, being unable to sleep. It would drive you mad.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand, different frequencies are handled by different agencies in the US, most of the EM spectrum is handled by the FCC, some by the FDA.
