Abstract

The paper presents evaluation of the performance of two different jammers in an open space on the basis of measurements. The measurements were performed with the use of Fluke AirMagnet Spectrum XT analyser in agricultural area. Signal power heat maps were prepared and analysed. Theoretical path loss models of different jammers’ configurations were worked out. The determination of the path loss models parameters allow to calculate the theoretical heat maps and compare them with measurements. The study focused on designation of the performance of the jammers in open space. This allows to estimate the area of effective signal jamming. The influence of channel frequency in WiFi 2.4 GHz band on the jammer performance was analysed.
