BlueTooth Jammer

[CircuitMan]

Anyone got a way to block blueTooth from working!

BFH...


big ....... hammer :lol:
other than that, I dunno

Why would you want that???

remember there are laws in place to prevent these kinds of jammers to distrupt radio transmission.

Firstly, you would need to know what frequency BT works on....

Remember, it's only illegal if you get court.

No - it's illegal regardless, you only get to 'court' if you get caught!.

Fill the complete bluetooth spectrum... thats the way.....

I thought everyone knew BT worked in the 2.4ghz unlicened band?

BT is designed to be pretty darn resilient - thats why it's so slow.

the laws are kind of interesting regarding interference

BT devices are regulated by part 15, which when boiled down says 1) they cannot create interference 2) they must accept any and all interference without recourse (in other words you can't complain if someone else jams your signal)

you go out and get yourself a (now code free) ham license, you'll be licensed to broadcast at several watts in the ISM band. You could rig up your some sort of sloppy video encoding to a 2.4ghz radio and flood the ISM band with garbage, and it would be perfectly legal, since you're operating within the band boundaries as a licensed broadcaster. you'll can wipe out bluetooth, wifi, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.

It wouldn't be legal though, as an amateur licence holder you are obliged NOT to cause interference to other users - doing so would cause loss of your licence, and the usual penalties for illegal radio operation.

Part 15 requires accepting whatever comes along with others operating legal and approved equipment. Jamming devices aren't legal so those impacted by the jammer do have Part 15 on their side. The existing regulations for amateur radio are not likely to permit flooding the entire band. You are usually restricted in terms of bandwidth and type of emission.
