doc.: IEEE /089 Submission January 2002 Steve Halford, IntersilSlide 6 Comparison to 5 GHz a requirement a requires –30dBm input power802.11a requires –30dBm input power –Greater free space loss for same size antenna at 5.2 GHz –Expect lower receive power for same distance

doc.: IEEE /089 Submission January 2002 Steve Halford, IntersilSlide 7 Summary of Results & Conclusions Lower loss for.11g radios means that a -30 dBm requires radios to be 3.85 m apart!.11a radios can be no closer than 1.8 meters Same distance at 2.4 GHz translates to –23.4 dBm max receive power To improve performance (& make more like.11b) Selected -20 dBm
