The test results found that the EMI impact depended on the UWB power that fell within the receiver passband. Specifically, EMI occurred when the average power in the receiver passband was approximately equal to the desired signal level of the receiver. One waveform, TW7, did not cause EMI because the average power was too low. Three waveforms, TW1, TW2, and TW6 only caused EMI when the receiver was tuned to the frequency of the UWB spectral component. Three waveforms, TW3, TW4, and TW5, caused EMI at all receiver frequencies. As noted, these tests were performed to determine the susceptibility of various RF receiver (radars and communications systems) devices to UWB signals. The tests were not intended to evaluate the use of UWB signals for jamming purposes.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of protecting personnel from radio frequency (RF)-triggered explosive devices (RTEDs), wherein the RTED is intended to explode upon reception of a RTED transmission signal at a RTED receiver, comprising: associating predetermined interference parameters with the RTED transmission signal, wherein the RTED transmission signal comprises a bit stream; creating an ultra-wideband (UWB) signal meeting the predetermined interface parameters; and transmitting the UWB signal thereby interfering with the reception of the bit stream by the RTED receiver. 2. The method of protecting personnel from RTEDs of claim 1, wherein the RTED transmission signal is selected from the group consisting of a garage door opener signal, a car alarm signal, a remote keyless entry device signal, a wireless door bell signal, a toy remote control signal, family radio service (FRS) signal, a general mobile radio service (GMRS) signal, cellular telephone ringing signal, and a pager signal. 3. The method of protecting personnel from RTEDs of claim 1, wherein the interference parameters are selected from the group consisting of a rise time, a pulse width, and pulse repetition rate. 4. The method of protecting personnel from RTEDs of claim 3, wherein the method further comprises varying the pulse repetition rate randomly over time. 5. The method of protecting personnel from RTEDs of claim 3, wherein the method further comprises varying the pulse repetition rate predictably over time. 6. The method of protecting personnel from RTEDs of claim 1 further comprising amplifying the UWB signal prior to transmitting the UWB signal to the RTED receiver. 7. The method of protecting personnel from RTEDs of claim 6 further comprising, before amplifying the UWB signal, filtering the UWB signal. 8. The method of protecting personnel from RTEDs of claim 1 further comprising: substituting an alternate set of predetermined interference parameters for the predetermined interference parameters; creating an alternative UWB signal using the alternate predetermined interface parameters; and transmitting the alternate UWB signal. 9. The method of protecting personnel from RTEDs of claim 1, wherein the RTED is selected from the group consisting of a manufactured RTED and an improvised RTED. 10. A system for protecting personnel from radio frequency (RF)-triggered explosive devices(RTEDs), wherein the RTED is intended to explode upon reception of a RTED transmission signal at a RTED receiver, comprising: an ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter; a pulse generator adapted to: receiver predetermined interference parameters associated with the RTED transmission signal, wherein the RTED transmission signal comprises a bit stream; and trigger the UWB transmitter with the received predetermined interference parameters; the UWB transmitter adapted to produce a UWB signal in response to the pulse generator; and a wideband antenna adapted to receive the UWB signal and broadcast the UWB signal. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the RTED transmission signal is selected from the group consisting of a garage door opener signal, a car alarm signal, a remote keyless entry device signal, a wireless door bell signal, a toy remote control signal, a family radio service (FRS) signal, a general mobile radio service(GMRS) signal, cellular telephone ringing signal, and a paper signal. 12. The system of claim 10, wherein the interference parameters are selected from the group consisting of a rise time, a pulse width, and pulse repetition rate. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the pulse generator is further adapted to vary the pulse repetition rate randomly over time. 14. The system of claim 12, wherein the pulse generator is further adapted to vary the pulse repetition rate predictably over time. 15. The system of claim 10, wherein the system further comprises: a memory, wherein the memory comprises a library of sets of predetermined interference parameters; and a processor, wherein the processor is adapted to: retrieve a set of predetermined interference parameters from the library; and send the set of predetermined interference parameters to the pulse generator. 16. The system of claim 10 further comprising a wideband amplifier, wherein the wideband amplifier is adapted to: receive the UWB signal from the UWB transmitter; amplify the UWB signal; and provide the amplified UWB signal to the wideband antenna. 17.
