Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
A modulation mechanism that spreads the signal for a wide band, allowing reception
even for overlapping data signals. 802.11b uses DSSS modulation.
Directional Antenna
Transmits and receives radio waves in a single direction.
Diversity Antenna
An antenna system that uses multiple antennas to reduce interference and maximize
reception and transmission quality.
DTE
Data Terminal Equipment, for example, a computer or terminal.
Dual Band
A device that is capable of operating in two frequency bands. On a wireless network,
dual-band devices are capable of operating in both the 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g) and 5 GHz
(802.11a) bands.
EAP
Extensible Authentication Protocol. A protocol that provides an authentication
framework for both wireless and wired Ethernet enterprise networks.
EIRP
Equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is the amount of power that would have
to be emitted by an isotropic antenna (that evenly distributes power in all directions and
is a theoretical construct) to produce the peak power density observed in the direction
of maximum antenna gain.
Encryption
Method of scrambling data so that only the intended viewers can decipher and
understand it.
