802.11 a
October 1999
Frequency: 5.15–5.35 and 5.725–5.825
GHz ( U-NII band )
52 subcarrier OFDM ( 4 pilot )
Data rates: 6 ,9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48,
54Mbps

OFDM
Multicarrier Spread Spectrum Technique
High-rate serial data stream divided into
numerous parallel low-rate data
streams that are modulated by a set of
subcarriers
Subacarriers are orthogonal with
overlapping spectra
Pilot subcarriers for channel estimation

Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum
Created by XOR of the signal and
pseudo-random number (chipping
sequence)
Long chipping sequences (eg. 128 bits)
result in higher bandwidth
Precise power control needed
Alleviates the effects of frequency
selective fading
Complementary Code Keying
Used in 802.11b
Single carrier
Complex code
