3 Introduction RF = Radio Frequency RF consists of High Frequency Alternating Current (AC) Signals Passing over a coper wire Connected to an antenna RF units of measurement are important to know RF characteristics are important to know Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 3
4 Understanding Radio Frequency (RF) RF High Frequency Alternating Current (AC) Signals Passing over a coper wire Connected to an antenna See Figure 4.2 in Textbook Characteristics include (more info on following slides) Wavelength, Frequency, Amplitude, Phase Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 4
5 RF Requires Transmitter and Receiver See Figure 4.3 in textbook These always work as a pair The transmitter transmits The receiver receives Each has an antenna The antenna transforms the copper signals to/from radio waves Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 5
6 Wavelength Wavelength = distance of one complete cycle See Figure 4.4 in textbook Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 6
7 Frequency Frequency = number of complete cycles per second See Figure 4.5 in textbook Low frequency = longer waves High frequency = shorter waves Example 800 MHz cordless phone had 500 feet range 2.4 GHz had 250 feet range 2.4 GHz wavelength about ½ distance of 800 MHz Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 7
8 Amplitude Amplitude = height of the sine wave See Figure 4.6 in Textbook Same Frequency. Different Amplitudes. The voltage at the peak of the sine wave is used to calculate the amount of RF Power Increase in Amplitude = Increase in Power = Gain Increase in Power: Gain Decrease in Power: Loss Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 8
9 Phase Phase = difference in degrees designating the start and end of two different overlapping sine waves 0 to 360 degrees See Figure 4.7 in Textbook Signal #1 and Signal #2 are are 90 degrees out of phase If two signals are 180 degrees out of phase, they will cause a cancellation effect Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 9
10 Frequencies Used for WLAN Who allocates the WLAN Frequencies USA: FCC Europe: ETSI Others (skip for now) Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 10
11 FCC Unlicensed Frequency Bands Used by the IEEE Standards See Table 4.3 in Textbook 2.4 GHz ISM Band ISM Industrial, Scientific, Medical GHz 5 GHz UNII Bands UNII-1 UNII-2 UNII-2e UNII-3 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 11
12 Channels 2.4 GHz ISM Frequency is divided into bands Bands are divided into channels 2.4 GHz ISM Band Total of 14 Channels Total of 11 Channels used in USA See Figure 4.8 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 12
13 Example 2.4 GHz ISM Channels Are 5 Mhz Wide Step 1. Channel 1 = GHz = 2412 MHz Step Mhz + 5 Mhz = 2417 Result: Channel 2 = GHz = MHz Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 13
14 DSSS is 22 MHz Wide - Hence it overlaps multiple channels Example Step 1. Channel 1 = GHz = 2412 MHz Step Mhz + 22 Mhz = 2436 Mhz Step 3. What channel is greater than 2436? Answer: Channel 6: 2437 Mhz = GHz KEY POINTS 25 Mhz is required for channels to be NON overlapping Channels 1, 6, and 11 are 25 MHz apart and nonoverlapping Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 14
15 Channels 5 GHz Bands See Figure 4.9 UNII-1 Band 4 channels UNII-2 Band 4 channels UNII-2e Band 11 channels UNII-3 Band 4 channels ISM 1 channel Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 15
16 Range Range = how far the signal can travel Range based on Wavelength (distance of a single cycle) Lower the frequency, longer the range Higher the frequency, shorter the range At the same output power level A 2.4 GHz signal will travel 2x as far as 5 GHz Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 16
17 Coverage and Capacity Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 17
18 Coverage and Capacity Two key factors when designing/implementing WLAN Coverage Capacity Coverage Size of the RF cell Capacity Number of users who can connect and use RF cell Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 18
19 Coverage Coverage = size of RF cell Coverage depends on many factors Size of area Number of users Whether bandwidth intensive apps are in use Obstacles Radio Frequency WLAN hardware (2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz) Power output of Transmitter Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 19
20 Coverage A single large RF cell size may allow too many devices to connect See Figure 4.10 in Textbook Station at greater distance has lower performance Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 20
21 Size of Area Manufacturers of WLAN hardware do not like to commit to a specific RF cell size Why? Answer: Too many variables NOTE: In Chapter 9 will will cover how to perform site survey Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 21
22 Number of Users How many users will access the RF cell? If a single RF cell has a single AP, how many simultaneous users can the AP handle? 10? 100? 1000? Recall the Apple ipad demo, with Steve Jobs asking the reporters to disconnect from Wi-Fi... Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 22
23 Type of Applications Does applications in user require much Wi-Fi bandwidth? Low bandwidth: Casual reading of static web pages Medium Bandwidth: YouTube High Bandwidth: CAD apps with huge image files Another high bandwidth example: Hospital Xray files Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 23
24 Obstacles What obstacles are in the area Walls, Doors, Windows, Furniture, etc. Thickness/Material of Walls, Doors, Windows, Furniture, etc. NOTE: More on this issue later in this chapter in section Environment: RF Behavior Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 24
25 WLAN Hardware and Output Power WLAN Hardware can impact coverage area Antenna Type Antenna Orientation Gain of the Antenna Higher the gain, higher the coverage Most enterprise-grade APs provide control of gain Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 25
26 Capacity Capacity = maximum users to can access AP without performance impact So many variables! How many users? Types of applications Bandwidth needs of applications Popular Option: Provide multiple APs! Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 26
27 Cannel Reuse and Colocation To handle increased capacity needs, add additional Aps See Figure 4.11 and Figure 4.12 in Textbook Figure 4.11 APs all set to Chanel 1 Figure 4.12 APs with proper channel reuse Channels 1, 6, 11 Very Key And Important to Know! 2.4 GHz ISM band has total of 3 NON- OVERLAPPING channels: 1, 6, 11 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 27
28 RF Range and Speed How far. How fast. Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 28
29 RF Range and Speed RF Range and Speed depends on many factors Line of Sight Interference from other RF sources Types of materials in the environment Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 29
30 Fresnel Zone Fresnel [fruh-nel] Zone The area of usable RF coverage between transmitter and receiver Must be clear of obstacles by at least 60 percent See Figure 4.13 in Textbook Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 30
31 Line of Sight Two types of Line of Sight Visual Line of Sight RF Line of Sight Visual Line of Sight Transmitter/Receiver see each other w/o obstacles RF Line of Sight Fresnel zone less due to obstacles Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 31
32 Interference Question: What is RF interference? Answer: The RF receiver hears two different signals on the same or similar frequency Result is signal distortion, which results in decreased data throughput Sources of Interference on 2.4 GHz WLAN Radio Control devices, Cordless phones, Microwaves, Medical devices, Industrial devices, baby monitors, other WLAN devices! (Whew!) NOTE: Later chapters will cover Site Survey! Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 32
33 Co-Channel/Adjacent Channel Interference Co-Channel/Adjacent Channel Interference When two devices in same physical area are tuned to same or close RF channel Example (causes interference) AP #1 set to channel 1 AP #2 set to channel 2 Example (does NOT cause interference) AP #1 set to channel 1 AP #2 set to channel 6 See Figure 4.14 and Figure 4.15 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 33
34 WLAN/WPAN Interference WLAN = Wireless Local Area Network WPAN = Wireless Personal Area Network Example: Two iphone devices using Bluetooth to play a peer-to-peer game Example WPAN Technology Bluetooth 2.4 GHz frequency range Older versions of BT interfered with Newer versions of BT use AFH (Adaptive Frequency Hoping) to reduce interference Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 34
35 Bright Sunlight Interference Bright sunlight will NOT affect WLAN (Textbook mentions that Infrared (IR) impacted by bright sunlight but that is not part of CWTS exam.) Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 35
36 Environment: RF Behavior Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 36
37 Environment: RF Behavior RF behavior is the result of environmental conditions Reflection Refraction Diffraction Scattering Absorption Diffusion Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 37
38 RF Reflection (think ping-pong) RF Reflection When an RF signal bounces off a smooth, non absorptive surface such as a tabletop Think ping-pong ball hitting ping-pong table See Figure 4.16 in Textbook Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 38
39 RF Refraction (think glass) RF Refraction When an RF signal passes between mediums of different densities, it may change speed or bend Example Glass is example material that may cause refraction See Figure 4.17 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 39
40 RF Diffraction RF Diffraction When an RF signal passes an obstacle and the wave changes direction Example Columns in a large open area See Figure 4.18 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 40
41 RF Scattering RF Scattering When RF signal strikes an uneven surface Waveforms reflect off the uneven durfaces See Figure 4.19 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 41
42 RF Absorption RF Absorption When a material absorbs the RF signal Example Human body has high water content and will absorb RF signals This is issue with densely populated areas such as airports and conference halls See Figure 4.20 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 42
43 RF Diffusion RF Diffusion RF signal naturally widens as it leaves the antenna Called Free Space Path Loss (FSPL) NOTE: FSPL is the greatest form of loss factor in an RF Link Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 43
44 Basic Units of RF Measurement Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 44
45 Basic Units of RF Measurement Watt the basic unit of measurement for RF 1 Watt = 1000 milliwatts Example SOHO AP A SOHO AP may output 30mW of power 30mW = (30mW * (1W/1000mw)) = 30/1000 Watt Example - Enterprise AP A Enterprise AP may output 100mW of power 100 mw = (100 mw * (1W/1000mw)) = 100/1000 Watt = 1/10 W Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 45
46 Absolute Measure of Power The amount of power leaving an AP is one example of absolute measure of power Absolute measure is just that an absolute measure Not a ratio Not a relative value Examples of Absolute Measure of Power Watt Decibel Relative to a Milliwatt (dbm) Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 46
47 Decibel Relative to MilliWatt - dbm dbm = Decibel Relative to MilliWatt Power level compared to 1 milliwatt Based on a logarithmic function Rule of thumb: 0 dbm = 1mW Example (from USB N client device) RF Power 11n Mode: 13 dbm 11g Mode: 15 dbm 11b Mode: 19 dbm Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 47
48 Remember: Absolute Values are Measurable Absolute values for WLAN Watt - W Milliwatt - mw Decibel Relative to Milliwatt - dbm Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 48
49 Relative Measurements of Power Relative changes in RF power Decibel - db Decibel Isotropic dbi Decibel Dipole - dbd Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 49
50 Decibel - db Decibel [des-uh-bel] db Ratio of two different power levels caused by a change in power See Figure 4.21 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 50
51 Decibel Isotropic - dbi Decibel Isotropic dbi Gain in signal strength Isotropic = energy broadcast equally in all directions in a spherical fashion Isotropic radiator = an imaginary, perfect antenna Theoretical and used for reference calculations More on this in Chapter 6 Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 51
52 Decibel Dipole - dbd Decibel Dipole dbd Antenna gain with respect to a reference dipole antenna To quote from book The gain of most antennas used in WLANs is measured in decibel isotropic, dbi; however some manufacturers may reference gain in dbd Formulas dbi = dbd dbd = dbi Copyright (c) 2010 Servin Corporation 52
