Spectrum Analysis Primer – Part 1 – Fundamentals
Today’s post, instead of your weekly Podcast on some Wireless LAN topic, will be the first of a three part series on Spectrum Analysis. This is a highly graphical topic, and though important to the working of a Wireless LAN Professional, is hard to do in an audio format. Thus no podcast, but instead I’ll be sharing slides, graphics, and concepts that I’ve been sharing with my students for the last decade… all in PDF format so we can visualize the concepts.
This week is Part 1 – Fundamentals.
In the attached PDF white paper we’ll cover the basics and vocabulary needed to get started with Spectrum Analysis. Including talking a bit on how regular WiFi NIC’s operate. We need to know what spectrum analysis is NOT as well as what it is.
In subsequent weeks we’ll continue talking about basics of Spectrum Analysis and then how to intepret the results of using a SpecAn.
In the final week, I’ll talk about the various options available from $50 to $20,000. And the costs and benefits of choosing your Spectrum Analysis tools wisely.
I’m no longer teaching WLAN technologies full-time, I’ve taken a position with Ruckus Wireless to head up the professional services group, so I thought it would be appropriate to share these concepts and slides freely to the Wireless LAN Professionals community.
Enjoy!

“How To Guide” for IPerf & JPerf
In lieu of a podcast this week. I’ve included the following short white paper written by Jared Griffith and Keith Parsons as an “How To Guide” to using IPerf and Jperf network performance tools. Feel free to download this PDF document and share it with your friends and collegues.
Enjoy ‘Perfing’ you network.
For those of you with AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer and/or AirMagnet SurveyPro software – you can also use the IPerf service within those tools. Doing an IPerf site survey is a great way to PROVE throughput over your Wireless LAN.
