System and method to autonomously and selectively jam frequency hopping signals in near real-time

An electronic signal jamming system, comprising:

• a wideband signal collection front end, comprising:
• a wideband receiver for receiving RF signals across a broad spectrum;
• a digitizer for creating a continuous stream of digitized data representing said received RF signals;
• a digital data conversion means for converting said digitized data into FFT frequency bins;
• and
• a signal evaluation logic module, comprising:
• a comparing means for comparing each said frequency bin to configurable preset lockout frequency bins;
• a peak detection means for evaluating and calculating the amplitude value for each bin by using a configurable number of data point samples for each of those bins;
• a windowing means for evaluating and calculating the amplitude value for each bin by using a configurable number of data point samples for each of those bins
• a priority selection means for evaluating the prioritization of jammer signal targets based upon configurable settings;
• and
• an internal transmitter also responsive to said comparing, peak detection, windowing, and priority logic for transmitting a jamming signal on said frequency of interest;
• and
• an internal cycle generator timing circuit for the proper high-speed automatic triggering of all modules of the electronic signal jamming system.
