A drone jammer is a device that disrupts the control signals of a drone. It works by blasting electromagnetic noise at the radio frequencies that drones use to operate and emit information. Drone signal jammer are often used to block unwanted signals and reduce the chance of third-party tracking.
How to Jam a Drone Signal
Jammers function by emitting electromagnetic interference towards the radio frequencies utilized by drones for operation and data transmission. Consequently, they overpower the communication between a drone and its controller. Typically, these frequencies are either 2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz, which are unassigned and publicly accessible.
What Frequency Do Drones Use
- Additional frequency bands utilized by drones are 433 MHz, 915 MHz, 1.2 GHz, and 1.3 GHz.
- Commercial drones operate on four frequency bands: 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz, 433MHz and 915MHz.
- The majority of the pricier commercial drones function on frequencies of 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz, while also utilizing GPS L1.
Drones utilize radio signals within the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands to transmit visual data back to the ground control station. These specific frequencies fall under the ISM band category.
