Abstract

The installation and use of smart home technology that uses wireless communication channels, according to the 802.11 standard series, is rapidly increasing. This article discusses the effect of Electromagnetic Interference Sweep Frequency Jamming Signal applied to a wireless smart meter installed in a three-phase domestic and light commercial electricity distribution board. More specifically, a method of frequency jamming signal generation technique, jamming signal radiation and its interference measurements method are explained in this paper. Then, the impact of disturbances are discussed and mitigation mechanisms such as construction material shielding, digital filtering and a systematic approach of electromagnetic risk assessment are given.
