    A jammer will be a high output RF. The jammers just shout louder than the signals they want to jam to drown them out. This is wideband high gain noise that degrades the signal to noise ratio of the target signals.

      Close, but you’re missing the part that RF spectrum is more than just wideband. There’s X band, UHF, UWB, and many many more.

      Jammers pick a portion, or portions, of the RF spectrum, and blast it with noise, yes.

      But they don’t magically deny every bit all at once.

      And radar is different still, especially when you’re talking about SEAD, or radar hunting missiles.
