Channel Estimation Sequence (802.11a/g/j/p OFDM)

 Default: See Using an 802.11a/g/j/p OFDM Standard Setup

When Channel Estimation Sequence is selected, the VSA synchronizes the start of the OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing: OFDM employs multiple overlapping radio frequency carriers, each operating at a carefully chosen frequency that is Orthogonal to the others, to produce a transmission scheme that supports higher bit rates due to parallel channel operation. OFDM is an alternative tranmission scheme to DSSS and FHSS. burst using the Channel Estimation Sequence symbols (also called long sync or long training symbols).

See Synchronization Reference for more information about this parameter and its application.

Channel Estimation Sequence is valid for IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. A US-based membership organisation that includes engineers, scientists, and students in electronics and related fields. The IEEE developed the 802 series wired and wireless LAN standards. Visit the IEEE at http://www.ieee.org 802.11g DSSS Direct sequence spread spectrum. The data transmission scheme (sometimes referred to as a "'modulation" scheme) used in 802.11b WLANs. DSSS uses a radio transmitter operating at a fixed centre frequency, but using a relatively broad range of frequencies, to spread data transmissions over a fixed range of the frequency band. 802.11a and 802.11g (when not operating in 802.11b mode) use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM).-OFDM, HIPERLAN/2, and 802.11a/g Turbo Mode only.
