You need a good book on digital error correction algorithms in digital

Unless you have constructed a real rf jammer (white noise really), BPL

So how is it gonna eat up having its receiver saturated? I'm pretty
familiar with digital comms and, with the exception of some pretty slow
speed stuff designed for weak signal work, most of it is not very good
unless you have a really solid signal-to-noise ratio. I'm just saying
that if it's getting out to my antenna that loud, then my kilowatt is
gonna have a fair chance at saturating the thing's receiver. And the
more noise they make, the more I'm apt to have to use the kilowatt to
shout over them.

Of course in our current enforcement situation here, I'd probably simply
be told to stand down and have to go to great legal lengths to appeal the
ruling.
