Wireless LANs Explaining WLAN Technology and Standards Unlicensed Frequency Bands Radio Frequency Transmission Radio frequencies are radiated into the air via an antenna, creating radio waves. Radio waves are absorbed when they are propagated through objects (e.g., walls). Radio waves are reflected by objects (e.g., metal surfaces). This absorption and reflection can cause areas of low signal strength or low signal quality. Radio Frequency Transmission Higher data rates have a shorter transmission range. The receiver needs more signal strength and better SNR to retrieve information. Higher tr
