Hi Be a bit careful there. 10 MHz times some nutty number comes up in the middle of the GPS passband (harmonics are spaced 10 MHz apart …). The GPS module may not be very happy with a CW jammer right on top of the signal it’s trying to receive. The logic chips involved to have rise times dimensioned in nanoseconds. There will be *some* energy up at 1.5 GHz.
