My interest in networking began during my time as a professor and head of the telecommunications lab at the University of Los Andes, in Merída, Venezuela, where we began experimenting with computer networks. I was one of the earliest Internet enthusiasts at our university. Our university was the first in Venezuela to get direct access to the Internet backbone in Homestead, Florida, by means of an antenna on the roof of our lab with the satellite modem in my office.

I’ve started studying for the CCNA wireless exam and thought I would put my notes online. I always learn better when writing and hopefully my notes can be of assistance to someone else. These notes are based on reading the official certification guide “CCNA Wireless 200-355 Official Cert Guide“.
Basic wireless theory
Wireless LANs are based on the 802.11 standard.
Wireless LANs is a lot about Radio Frequency (RF) and planning of the RF environment.
When alternating current is sent through the antenna electric and magnetic fields propagate out and away as traveling waves. They travel along each other and are at right angles to each other.
Electromagnetic waves do not travel in a straight line. They travel by expanding in all directions away from the antenna.
When the electromagnetic waves reach the receiver’s antenna, they induce an electrical signal.
Frequency
Frequency – The number of times a signal makes one complete up and down cycle in one second. Measured in Hertz (Hz)
The frequency range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz is commonly called RF. Types of devices in this frequency range is radar, radio, shortwave radio, television, FM radio, microwave etc. The main two frequency Continue reading
