Has anyone here built a 4G LTE capable cell phone jammer?

Most LTE networks use the same bands as the old cell networks. Note too, that the telecoms managed to win commercial usage rights for formally public upper WiFi bands as well. So there's a possibility of running your own LTE base-station, and not necessarily violate FCC rules.

However, interfering with service will have the FCC Fox Hunters (or annoyed ARRL members) after you fairly quickly given the other stations naturally triangulate carrier signal location by default (better than GPS in cities). There is also the constant flow of other users into the broadcast area, and link loss without hand-off would form a fairly good picture of the marked broadcast lobe/circle shadow. Avoid the FCC fines, and remember people have gone to jail for joke devices interfering with user emergency services.

Wideband LTE MIMO multi-polarization naturally handles interference well, and unlike old GSM protocols includes encryption to resist targeted link tampering.

D. Be careful where the law is concerned. Script kiddies, 1337 hax0rz, kewl bomb kidz, etc, begone. This isn't the Jolly Roger's cookbook, or a warez site. Take that kind of stuff somewhere else. Some of what we discuss here may be illegal in certain states, or countries. If you don't think you should be posting it, don't. If you don't know if you should be reading it, don't. You are always responsible for being aware of the laws in your area. This site has a right and a responsibility to defend free speech; we won't censor anyone unless we are forced to.

Jamming Cell Phones and GPS Equipment is Against the Law

In recent years, the number of websites offering “cell jammers” or similar devices designed to block communications and create a “quiet zone” in vehicles, schools, theaters, restaurants, and other places has increased substantially. While these devices are marketed under different names, such as signal blockers, GPS jammers, or text stoppers, they have the same purpose. We remind and warn consumers that it is a violation of federal law to use a cell jammer or similar devices that intentionally block, jam, or interfere with authorized radio communications such as cell phones, police radar, GPS, and Wi-Fi. Despite some marketers’ claims, consumers cannot legally use jammers within the United States, nor can retailers lawfully sell them.
