Abstract: This article extensively reviews radio wave jamming methods, focusing on their application to disrupt drone signals. It explores the evolution of these techniques, from basic noise-based methods to more advanced systems that target specific communication protocols. The article analyzes key jamming types such as barrage, tone, sweep, and protocol-aware jamming for their mechanisms and efficacy. Each type is discussed in terms of its operational principles, benefits, and limitations, offering a comprehensive understanding of the impact these methods have on drone communications. The review also discusses contemporary counter-jamming strategies, such as frequency hopping, which are increasingly being used to enhance the resilience of drone systems against interference. In addition, the article emphasizes the significant role of software-defined radio (SDR) systems in developing and improving effective drone communication jamming solutions. The flexibility of SDR technology allows for the dynamic adaptation of jamming techniques, making it an important area of research. We aim to improve understanding of SDR-based jamming methods and their practical application by combining theoretical studies with hands-on experiments.
