I am trying to simulate a VHF wireless network under varying conditions. Due to simulated atmospheric conditions, the topology of the network would have little resemblance to the geography of the network. This has inspired me to use LANs as those can be configured to connect arbitrary loads. To simulate the additional coverage of nodes at the boundaries of cities, I need to combine networks. The solution that has occurred to me is to use a point-to-multipoint link, as that would allow shared receiving without signals traveling too far. Is there such a component, and if so, where can I find it? Thank you for your consideration.
