Jammer Effectiveness Model

May 1995

Janet Geikas, Nicholas DeMinco

Abstract: The Jammer Effectiveness Model (JEM) is a Windows-based computer program which provides an integrated procedure for modeling propagation effects on telecommunication links and the effect of a jammer on communication links and networks. JEM provides the user with the ability to define equipment such as transmitters, receivers and antennas and then use these definitions in a variety of analyses. JEM can be used easily after only a short learning period.

Keywords: jammer, jamming, propagation, communications system models, electronic warfare, countermeasures
