Figure 2.1 Throughput for various modulation schemes. The over the air throughput is much higher than the
Ethernet rate since it also includes added bits for error detection and link layer retransmission, as well as link
management.
The AN-50 radios operate in the 100MHz available in the 5.8GHz unlicensed band. Each radio
link occupies one 20 MHz wide channel. The spectrum is broken into 9 partially overlapping
channels. Two radio links in close proximity should be separated by 20MHz to avoid co-channel
interference. The table in Figure 2.2 below shows the center frequencies of the 9 channels.
