Abstract

We present a method for jamming a time-division duplex link using a transceiver with a large number of antennas. By utilizing beamforming, a jammer with <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$M$ </tex-math></inline-formula> antennas can degrade the spectral efficiency of the primary link more than conventional omnidirectional jammers under the same power constraint, or perform equally well with approximately <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$1/M$ </tex-math></inline-formula> of the output power. The jammer operates without any prior knowledge of channels to the legitimate transmitters, or the legitimate signals by relying on channel reciprocity.
