This gives users the mobility to move around within a local coverage area and still be connected to the network. Most modern WLANs are based on IEEE 802.11 standards, marketed under the Wi-Fi brand name. 標準名稱 傳輸頻寬(理論/實際) 傳輸距離 使用頻段 普及度 802.11a 54Mbps(22Mbps) 約30公尺 5 GHz 少 802.11b 11Mbps(5Mbps) 約40-50公尺 2.4 GHz 最多 802.11g 54Mbps(22Mbps) 約40-50公尺 2.4 GHz 多 15 Digital Cellular and Cordless Phone Standards Standard Multiple Access Receive Frequency (MHz) Transmit Frequency (MHz) Channel Spacing (kHz) Mod.

Kurokawa. These parameters describe the interrelationships of a new set of variables (ai , bi). The variables ai and bi are normalized complex voltage waves incident on and reflected from the ith port of the network. They are defined in terms of the terminal voltage Vi , the terminal current Ii , and an arbitrary reference impedance Zi ,where the asterisk denotes the complex conjugate: 27 S-parameter (2) Limitations of lumped models At low frequencies most circuits behave in a predictable manner and can be described by a group of replaceable, lumped-equivalent black boxes. At microwave frequencies, as circuit element size approaches the wavelengths of the operating frequencies, such a simplified type of model becomes inaccurate. The physical arrangements of the circuit components can no longer be treated as black boxes. We have to use a distributed circuit element model and s-parameters. 28 S-parameter (3) 29 S-parameter (4) 30 S-parameter (5) 31 Network Analyzer (1) S11,S12 S11,S21 S22,S21 S22,S12 Vector network analyzer (VNA): The vector network analyzer, VNA is a more useful form of RF network analyzer than the SNA as it is able to measure more parameters about the device under test. Not only does it measure the amplitude response, but it also looks at the phase as well. As a result vector network analyzer, VNA may also be called a gain-phase meter or an Automatic Network Analyzer. DUT must be measured under a small input power (small-signal operation) 32 Network Analyzer (2) Formats of S parameters Log scale plot Polar Smith chart 33 Network Analyzer (3) Large Signal Network Analyzer (LSNA): The large signal network analyzer, LSNA is a highly specialized for of RF network analyzer that is able to investigate the characteristics of devices under large signal conditions. It is able to look at the harmonics and nonlinearties of a network under these conditions, providing a full analysis of its operation. A previous version of the Large Signal Network Analyzer, LSNA was known as the Microwave Transition Analyzer, MTA [S]p,f,n p: input power f: operation frequency n: harmonic order 34 Network Analyzer (4) X-parameters are a unified way of describing nonlinear device-under-test (DUT) behavior: • Harmonics • Large signal input & output match • Large signal isolation and transmission 35 Network Analyzer (5) Sum of the harmonics can transform the frequency-domain signals into time-domain signals. 36
