Title: WiFi 802.11a/g/n/ac

Abstract: This seminar starts with a short story on how the speaker became the first employee (after the founders) of Quantenna Communications and how it is to work at a startup company in Silicon Valley. The technical part of the seminar includes an overview of the blocks in the PHY layer of WiFi 802.11a/g (54 Mbps) followed by a discussion on how the rate could be increased to 600 Mbps in 802.11n and to almost 7 Gbps in the latest 802.11ac standard.
