The analysis is performed with a periodic frequency-sweeping intentional electromagnetic interference, corresponding to the most common jamming signals. Such a waveform faithfully represents the signals emitted by commercial jammers. As the sweep period of the jamming signals may vary from one such device to another, the analyses are conducted with different sweep period values, from 1\u00a0\u03bcs to 50\u00a0\u03bcs. The experimental results indicate that the impact varies significantly according to the sweep period of the jamming signal. The detailed analysis allows us to identify the jamming signals to which LoRa communications can be resilient or not as well as to identify which LoRa channels are less affected during an attack.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22135015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,4]],"date-time":"2022-07-04T23:38:55Z","timestamp":1656977935000},"page":"5015","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Susceptibility of LoRa Communications to Intentional Electromagnetic Interference with Different Sweep Periods"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6985-394X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Artur N.","family":"De S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"COSYS-LEOST, Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel, IFSTTAR, Universit\u00e9 de Lille, F-59650 Villeneuve d\u2019Ascq, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Virginie","family":"Deniau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"COSYS-LEOST, Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel, IFSTTAR, Universit\u00e9 de Lille, F-59650 Villeneuve d\u2019Ascq, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christophe","family":"Gransart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"COSYS-LEOST, Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel, IFSTTAR, Universit\u00e9 de Lille, F-59650 Villeneuve d\u2019Ascq, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0208-7248","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Vantroys","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Lille, CNRS, USR 3380\u2014IRCICA\u2014Institut de Recherche sur les Composants Logiciels et Mat\u00e9riels pour l\u2019Information et la Communication Avanc\u00e9e, F-59000 Lille, France"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Lille, CNRS, Centrale Lille, UMR 9189 CRIStAL, F-59000 Lille, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5499-9273","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandre","family":"Bo\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Lille, CNRS, USR 3380\u2014IRCICA\u2014Institut de Recherche sur les Composants Logiciels et Mat\u00e9riels pour l\u2019Information et la Communication Avanc\u00e9e, F-59000 Lille, France"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Lille, CNRS, Centrale Lille, Universit\u00e9 Polytechnique Hauts-de-France, UMR 8520\u2014IEMN, F-59000 Lille, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric Pierre","family":"Simon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Lille, CNRS, USR 3380\u2014IRCICA\u2014Institut de Recherche sur les Composants Logiciels et Mat\u00e9riels pour l\u2019Information et la Communication Avanc\u00e9e, F-59000 Lille, France"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Lille, CNRS, Centrale Lille, Universit\u00e9 Polytechnique Hauts-de-France, UMR 8520\u2014IEMN, F-59000 Lille, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2604","DOI":"10.1109\/TEMC.2019.2957423","article-title":"Review of the EMC Aspects of Internet of Things","volume":"62","author":"Wu","year":"2020","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
