I believe that would be a wireless router.

They transmit data from your computer to a radio wave transmitter and from there to a radio receiver in a wireless card either built in to a motherboard or to an external wireless card. Which the computer translates back into electrical impulses. and finally process's the information.

And yes that is a lot of information but some people want a lot of information

A radio transmitter is used to transmit radio waves. A radio receiver is used to receive radio waves. You probably have many radio receivers around you. Your car has a receiver and you probably have at least one receiver in your home. If you have a wireless or cordless phone, you have both a receiver and a transmitter built into the same device. The transmitter is so your voice can be transmitted to the cellular network and ultimately to the person you are talking to. The receiver in your wireless or cordless phone allows you to hear the person on the other end of the call.

What does jamming of radar means?

Radar involves sending radio waves of a particular frequency to a target. The target will reflect the radio waves back slightly modified. The slight modification provides information. Now, if a receiver picks up the radio wave sent out by a radar device and sends back all sorts of return signals, the receiver has no idea what type of information it is receiving. It is the same effect as static on a telephone. You know the other person is talking but you have no idea what he or she is saying. There is information but you do not know what it means.
