Absztrakt

Wireless local area networks or WLANs are the necessary underlying communication technology of consumer electronics, mobile computers and mobile phones of our days. Thanks to the comfortable operations and ubiquitous applicability for work and entertainment, the demand surged for these devices in the last 15 years. WLAN solutions provide the opportunity for mobility. But these networks communicate via radio waves with devices, which can be eavesdropped on and attacked. One form of attack is jamming. This article analyses the most frequent WLAN  standards and the jamming options, particularly the execution of electronic jamming in the physical layer.
