How do radar and communications jammers work?

Been in the news a lot lately. I’ve always assumed it just overloads an area with some sort of signal, but I know nothing about this kind of stuff so it’s a wild speculation.

Think of it like this:

You can hear a pin drop in an empty, quiet room.

“Jamming” would be as if you started a party in that room. Hearing that pin drop is virtually impossible.

Good jamming will be similar in results.

Current technology is designed to combat background noise. So to still “jam” it you need to broadcast at a high enough power to over whelm the equipment trying to clean the signal. The technical aspects are practically ignorable if you use enough power at the correct frequencies. But that amount of power might also cook people…
