Appendix A: Wireless Technology Basics 27 (30)
A Wireless Technology Basics
Wireless technology is based on the propagation and reception of electromagnetic waves.
These waves respond in different ways in terms of propagation, dispersion, diffraction and reflection depending on their frequency and the medium in which they are travelling.
To enable communication there should optimally be an unobstructed line of sight between the
antennas of the devices. However, the so called Fresnel Zones should also be kept clear from
obstacles, as radio waves reflected from objects within these zones may reach the receiver out
of phase, reducing the strength of the original signal (also known as phase cancelling).
Fresnel zones can be thought of as ellipsoid three-dimensional shapes between two wireless
devices. The size and shape of the zones depend on the distance between the devices and on
the signal wave length. As a rule of thumb, at least 60 % of the first (innermost) Fresnel zone
must be free of obstacles to maintain good reception.
Fig. 22 Fresnel zones
Area to keep clear of obstacles (first Fresnel zone)
Distance (d)
100 m 1.7 m 1.2 m
200 m 2.5 m 1.7 m
300 m 3.0 m 2.1 m
400 m 3.5 m 2.4 m
2.4 GHz (WLAN or Bluetooth) 5 GHz (WLAN)
Fresnel zone radius (r)
The wireless signal may be adequate even if there are obstacles within the Fresnel zones, as it
always depends on the number and size of the obstacles and where they are located. This is
especially true indoors, where reflections on metal objects may actually help the propagation of
radio waves. To reduce interference and phase cancelling, the range may also need to be limited by reducing the transmission power. For determining the optimal configuration and placement of wireless devices it is therefore recommended to use a wireless signal analysis tool.
