It can be done if your driver supports setting your wifi card into master mode.
From the iwconfig man page
mode Set the operating mode of the device, which depends on the net‐
work topology. The mode can be Ad-Hoc (network composed of only
one cell and without Access Point), Managed (node connects to a
network composed of many Access Points, with roaming), Master
(the node is the synchronisation master or acts as an Access
Point), Repeater (the node forwards packets between other wire‐
less nodes), Secondary (the node acts as a backup mas‐
ter/repeater), Monitor (the node is not associated with any cell
and passively monitor all packets on the frequency) or Auto.
