Glossary

M

MAC

modulation

Media Access Control address. A unique 48-bit number used in Ethernet data packets to identify an Ethernet device, such as an access point or your client adapter.

Any of several techniques for combining user information with a transmitter’s carrier signal.

multipath

The echoes created as a radio signal bounces off of physical objects.

multicast packet A single data message (packet) sent to multiple addresses.

O

omni-directional	This typically refers to a primarily circular antenna radiation pattern.
orthogonal	A modulation technique used by IEEE 802.11a-compliant wireless LANs for
Frequency Division	transmission at 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps.
Multiplex (OFDM)

P

packet	A basic message unit for communication across a network. A packet usually includes routing
	information, data, and sometimes error detection information.

Q

Quadruple Phase
Shift Keying	A modulation technique used by IEEE 802.11b-compliant wireless LANs for
	transmission at 2 Mbps.

R

range

A linear measure of the distance that a transmitter can send a signal.

receiver sensitivity A measurement of the weakest signal a receiver can receive and still correctly translate it into data.

RF	Radio frequency. A generic term for radio-based technology.
