  2. Radio jamming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_jamming

    Radio jamming is the deliberate blocking of or interference with wireless communications. [1] [2] In some cases, jammers work by the transmission of radio signals that disrupt telecommunications by decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio.

  3. 2.4 GHz radio use - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.4_GHz_radio_use

    Most domestic microwave ovens operate by emitting a very high power signal in the 2.4 GHz band. Older devices have poor shielding, [14] and often emit a very "dirty" signal over the entire 2.4 GHz band. [a] This can cause considerable difficulties to Wi-Fi and video [16] transmission, resulting in reduced range or complete blocking of the signal.

  4. Embedded controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_controller

    An Embedded Controller (EC) is a microcontroller in computers that handles various system tasks. Now it is usually merged with Super I/O , especially on mobile platforms (such as laptop). Tasks

  5. Covert listening device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covert_listening_device

    Listening devices of the East German security services A microphone disguised as a power outlet plate. A covert listening device, more commonly known as a bug or a wire, is usually a combination of a miniature radio transmitter with a microphone.

  6. Frequency-hopping spread spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency-hopping_spread...

    FHSS signals are highly resistant to narrowband interference because the signal hops to a different frequency band. Signals are difficult to intercept if the frequency-hopping pattern is not known. Jamming is also difficult if the pattern is unknown; the signal can be jammed only for a single hopping period if the spreading sequence is unknown.

  7. Wireless network interface controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_network_interface...

    A wireless network interface controller may be implemented as an expansion card and connected using PCI bus or PCIe bus, or connected via USB, PC Card, ExpressCard, Mini PCIe or M.2. The low cost and ubiquity of the Wi-Fi standard means that many newer mobile computers have a wireless network interface built into the motherboard.

  8. Medium access control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_access_control

    Additionally, the MAC is also responsible for compensating for collisions by initiating retransmission if a jam signal is detected. When receiving data from the physical layer, the MAC block ensures data integrity by verifying the sender's frame check sequences, and strips off the sender's preamble and padding before passing the data up to the ...

  9. Mobile phone jammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_jammer

    Example of a mobile phone jammer, produced by Jammerspro. A mobile phone jammer or blocker is a device which deliberately transmits signals on the same radio frequencies as mobile phones, disrupting the communication between the phone and the cell-phone base station, effectively disabling mobile phones within the range of the jammer, preventing them from receiving signals and from transmitting ...
