How big is the area of a GPS jammer? Gatwick is 10km further out than London's biggest ring road and 45km from the centre.

However big you want to make it. All a “GPS jammer” is is a radio transmitting on 1575.42 MHz. Modeling the signal propagation of a transmitting device (Aka radio / antenna combo in this case) is a very very well known field.
