Wavelength
λ = c/f f = c/λ
F = frequency (f,measured in hertz, or Hz)
λ = wavelength (λ, measured in meters, or m)
C = the speed of light which is a constant value of
300,000,000 m/sec
750 KHz wavelength and 252 GHz wavelength
Frequency
When discussing signal strength in a WLAN, amplitude is usually referred to as either transmit amplitude or received
amplitude. Transmit amplitude is typically defi ned as the amount of initial amplitude that leaves the radio transmitter.
For example, if you confi gure an access point to transmit at 50 milliwatts (mW), that is the transmit amplitude.
Phase
• Phase is not a property of just one RF signal but instead involves the
relationship between two or more signals that share the same
frequency. The phase involves the relationship between the position
of the amplitude crests and troughs of two waveforms.
• Phase can be measured in distance, time, or degrees. If the peaks of
two signals with the same frequency are in exact alignment at the
same time, they are said to be in phase.

Radio Frequency Behaviors
As an RF signal travels through the air and other mediums, it can move and behave in
different manners. RF propagation behaviors include
• Wave Progpagation
• absorption,
• reflection,
• scattering,
• refraction,
• diffraction,
• Free space path loss,
• multipath,
• attenuation,
• gain.
Wave Propagation
• Scattering happens when an RF signal strikes an uneven surface causing the signal
to be scattered. The resulting signals are less significant than the original signal.
• Can occur when a wave strikes an uneven surface and is reflected in many
directions simultaneously
• Yields many small amplitude reflections and destroys the main signal
Scattering = Multiple Reflections

Components of RF communications
• Transmitter
• Receiver
• Antenna
• Isotropic radiator
• Intentional radiator (IR)
• Equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP)
RF components
TRANSMITTER
There are two ways to increase the power output from an antenna
1. to generatemore power at the transmitter, as stated in the previous
section
2. to direct, or focus, the RF signal that is radiating from the antenna
RECEIVER
• The receiver takes the carrier signal that is received from the antenna
and translates the modulated signals into 1s and 0s.
• It then takes this data and passes it to the computer to be processed
• The job of the receiver is not always an easy one. The signal that is
received is a much less powerful signal than what was transmitted
because of the distance it has traveled and the effects of free space
path loss (FSPL). The signal is also often unintentionally altered due to
interference from other RF sources and multipath.
FHSS
Versi yang terbaru adalah direct squence spread spectrum. Kedua teknik ini
dipergunakan dalam berbagai produk jaringan nirkabel. Selain itu juga untuk
berbagai aplikasi lainnya, seperti telepon nirkabelt (cordless telephone).
Sebuah sistem spread-spectrum harus memenuhi kriteria sebagai berikut :
• Sinyal yang dikirimkan menduduki bandwidth yang jauh lebih lebar
daripada bandwidth minimum yang diperlukan untuk mengirimkan sinyal
informasi
• Pada pengirim terjadi proses spreading yang menebarkan sinyal informasi
dengan bantuan sinyal kode yang bersifat independen terhadap informasi
• Pada penerima terjadi proses despreading yang melibatkan korelasi antara
sinyal yang diterima dan replika sinyal kode yang dibangkitkan sendiri oleh
suatu generator lokal.
SPREAD SPECTRUM -2-
Gambar diatas menyajikan gambaran tentang karakteristik kunci beberapa sistem spektum penyebaran.
Input dimasukkan ke dalam suatau channel enkoder yang menghasilkan sebuah sinyal analog dengan
bandwidth sempit relatif di seputar beberapa frekuensi pusat. Sinyal ini kemudian dimodulasikan
menggunakan deretan digit-digit tidak beraturan yang disebut pseudorandom sequence. Efek dari modulasi
ini adalah untuk meningkatkan secara signifikan bandwith (yang menyebarkan spektrum) sinyal yang
ditransmisikan. Pada ujung penerima, deretan digit yang sama di gunakan untuk mendemodulasikan sinyal
spektrum penyebaran. Terakhir sinyal dimasukkan ke dalam sebuah channel dekoder untuk melindungi
