Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An ultra wideband (UWB) jamming system comprises a processor, a memory, a pulse generator, a UWB transmitter, and an UWB antenna. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the RF signals of the RTED triggering device are evaluated and a set of interference parameters defined for the RF signal of that device. The interference parameters are predetermined to interfere with the reception of the RF signal of that device by a RTED receiver. The interference parameters are sent to a pulse generator that drives a UWB transmitter to generate a signal has a statistically high probability of introducing an error in a bit stream of the RTED signal before it is received by the RTED receiver thereby preventing detonation of the RTED.
