Overview

• Examine frequency domain modulator for 802.11 1 and 2 Mbps Barker signaling.

• Examine frequency domain modulator for 5.5 and 11 Mbps CCK signaling.

• Examine frequency domain modulator for 5.5 and 11 Mbps PBCC signaling.

• Compare 802.11b frequency domain modulators to OFDM modulator.

• Cyclic extensions for Barker or CCK transmissions (non 802.11b variant).
