This paper presents an analysis of the impact of intentional electromagnetic (EM) interferences on the performance of Wi-Fi communications. The goal is to analyze the susceptibility of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signals and to understand how certain parameters of the interference signal act on the degradation of the communication, taking into account the signal processing performed at the reception stage of the communication system. We analyze the relationship between the parameters of the interference and the signal processing at the reception. This study is a contribution for agile communication solutions that would have the ability to reconfigure the signal processing in order to reduce the impact of interference signals. The scenario corresponds to an IEEE 802.11n wireless network affected by a frequency-sweeping interference signal. The interference signal sweeps over a given frequency band, and different sweep periods and interference to signal power ratios are applied. A set of measurements was performed to evaluate the performance of the communication network in the presence of different EM interferences. Bit rate measurements are presented and the impact of the interference characteristics on communication quality is analyzed, by highlighting the effect of the signal processing performed by the OFDM receiver.
