Hi, I’m a grad student looking into gnuRadio/USRP for a project and had
a
question. Looking everything over, it’s all very intimidating. None of
the
people I work with are coders, nor do we have a lot of experience with
RF
hardware. We’re hoping to basically output RF range signals (sine waves)
for
jamming type purposes. How difficult would you all estimate it would be
to
get such a basic system running?

Independent of GNU Radio, even trying to have a sensible conversation
about jamming without a basic grip on RF or how receivers work or the
characteristics of the system you’re trying to jam, is a pretty big
stretch.
There are lots of textbooks on jamming and anti-jamming. You might
want to take a look at one or two to get yourself familiar with the
domain. Look for titles containing words such as “jamming”, “electronic
countermeasures”, or “electronic warfare”. Artech House and SciTech
publish a bunch of them.
