Abstract
The paper presents a simulation of open Wi-Fi service using the Analog Devices ADRV9364-Z7020 card, which integrates an FPGA-based architecture. The proposal seeks to analyze the behavior of wireless communication within a telecommunications system implemented using software-defined radio (SDR). During development, the installation, configuration, and verification stages of the logic blocks associated with the routing protocol were carried out, in addition to parameter optimization and testing with specialized simulation tools. Subsequently, the system's performance was evaluated under different operating conditions, considering the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The results obtained show that the equipment used offers stable and adaptable performance, with an adequate level of sensitivity for monitoring environments, intrusion detection, and commercial applications, highlighting its potential for real implementations of experimental wireless networks.
