Abstract: This engineering manual describes a user–friendly and menu–driven computer program called the Jammer Effectiveness Model (JEM). The models used in JEM to analyze the effectiveness of a jammer in jamming a receiver/transmitter pair or network of receivers and transmitters are described. The JEM runs on a personal computer in a Windows environment. The extensive design and analysis capabilities of this program have been previously limited to mainframe computers. This computer model is highly structured and modular in design, which allows for flexibility and expandability for future modifications.
