Abstract

This project presents the development and implementation of a Frequency Jammer System designed for controlled signal interference in secure and research-oriented environments. The system incorporates an ESP32 microcontroller for centralized processing and control, and integrates key components such as RF modules, SMA antenna connectors, a CP2102 USB-toserial converter for programming and debugging, and status indicators via WS2812 RGB LEDs. It is powered by a rechargeable battery system, managed through a TP4056 charging module and voltage regulators to ensure power efficiency and stability. The construction phase began with simulation and testing on a breadboard, followed by circuit soldering onto Vero boards and final enclosure into a portable, field-ready casing. Throughout development, attention was given to optimizing RF signal transmission, power distribution, and communication between modules using UART and SPI protocols. The system’s performance was validated by testing signal disruption within a defined frequency range, highlighting low-latency response from control input to signal output. Key challenges included microcontroller stability under RF load, component heat management, and ensuring reliable wireless signal output. These were addressed through hardware replacement, circuit refinement, and improved grounding and shielding practices. This jammer system demonstrates practical implications in testing wireless system vulnerabilities in labs, educational settings.
