1 RF Overview

降低信道的影响通常在PHY层来做，但是WLAN中定义了发送和接受的最小的需求。

2 Transmit Power

发送的功率很大程度影响发送的表现，即便在Spec中很少被提及。

2.1 Transmit Power Setting

通常，WLAN不执行功率控制，并且每个数据速率（MCS和MIMO）都有自己的增益信息或目标功率。 它们保存在WLAN产品中的某个位置，并在WLAN驱动程序启动时加载。 在某些情况下，Tx功率会降低（降低功率）以满足法规要求，并且该信息也会与增益或目标功率值一起保存。

2.2 How to read power in spectrum

用幅度和相位表示的信号可能在幅度和/或相位中具有误差，即EVM（误差矢量幅度Error Vector Magnitude）。

3 Spectral Mask

4 Leakage at Center frequency components

5 Basic Concept on SNR

SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) is one key factor to interpret receiver’s performance. To understand it, the thermal background noise and the noise figure need to be understood.
Different from noise, the interference can be categorized into two, interference from other RF in channel and interference from other parts inside system. The first one is handled mostly by PHY protocol and the latter by system engineers.

6 Max Input Level

可以称为最大灵敏度。 通常，AP与移动设备之间的距离较远，无需考虑此要求。 但是，考虑到Wi-Fi Direct或智能手机网络共享，将有越来越多的情况，WLAN设备正在从近距离的对应设备接收高功率。

7 Why is ACR getting important（相邻信道的干扰）

Adjacent Channel Reject (ACR) is not handling the in-band interference. In-band interference can be regarded as the signal that occupies the channel and CCA takes the role in CSMA/CA (find CCA & NAV chapter) and the signals from outside the its BSS (Overlapped BSS, OBSS) is elaborately managed in 11ax (find Spatial Reuse & BSS Color chapter) . Anyway, ACR is the only IEEE requirement to see the Rx performancewith the interference at the channel around and the importance is getting higher.
