Low-Power Distributed Jammer Network

The Distributed Jammer Network (DJN) is composed of a large number of tiny, low-power jammers, which are distributed inside a target network and emit radio energy to disrupt its communications. Recent advancement in microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology makes it possible to make jammers sufficiently small that a DJN can take the form of a dust suspending in the air, thus the name Jamming Dust. Miniaturization of jammers should be less challenging than that of wireless sensors since jammers just emit noise signal without requiring complex modulation, filtering, and other signal processing functions. Therefore, new miniature devices such as nanotube radio may find their first application in jamming dust.
