Welcome to season 2 of "Make Wi-Fi Visible"! Previously in season 1, we presented radio frequency features using light analogies. In this new season, we are going to focus on antennas. As we know, RF signal is invisible. So how do we know how RF will radiate out of an antenna? We used what is called an [...]

As 2014 is ending today, this makes it the perfect day to do a recap of the first season of Make Wi-Fi Visible. This series of articles is aimed to explain Wi-Fi concepts using the light analogy. The first season focused on the major Radio Frequency (a.k.a. RF) properties. Since both Wi-Fi and light are made of electromagnetic waves, [...]

As we all know, Wi-Fi is amazing. The only thing is... it’s invisible. So let’s start by explaining what makes Wi-Fi invisible? Wi-Fi uses radio frequencies electromagnetic waves to transfer information. These waves have wavelengths that are not within the visible space. Light is also an electromagnetic wave. However, its wavelength is within the visible spectrum (between 330 [...]
