802.11g Prototyping hardware - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in 2010 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2010, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hello,

Does anyone know of any 802.11g evaluation boards that are commercially available? I'm interested in doing a project involving a physical layer only enhancement of 802.11g. I would like to utilize the underlying 802.11g waveform, but would like to apply the hardware to the IF frequency (0-500 MHz) before it gets upconverted to the typical RF frequency of 2.4 GHz. Please let me know if you know of any ways to achieve this.

Thanks so much for your help.

Best Regards,

Andrew Wu

Most of the 802.11g stuff I've seen is highly integrated System on Chip. I think you might want to look at rolling your own. You can use ADS to generate the signals in ADS, and then upload them to an Agilent signal generator and use that as a transmitter.
