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.
