| contents | This paper presents \emph{StormWave}, an open-source, portable software-defined Radio Frequency (RF) interference generation and monitoring platform designed for realistic field-based evaluation of the resilience of wireless communication systems. StormWave enables seamless composition and runtime switching among a wide range of narrowband and wideband waveforms, while supporting multiple digital modulations, adaptive coding, and multi-radio orchestration with real-time spectrum visualization. We evaluate the effectiveness of StormWave through both outdoor ground and air-to-air (A2A) experiments. Ground experiments demonstrate clear waveform- and modulation-dependent interference effects under realistic propagation conditions, while A2A experiments reveal pronounced distance-dependent constellation distortion and access-symbol degradation under active interference. The StormWave source code will be released to the community, with the expectation that StormWave will be used as a flexible, extensible, and field-ready platform for systematically validating interference resilience of wireless systems under realistic operating conditions. |
