Performance Enhancement for Wi-Fi Communications

This study explores how MicroWave Ovens (MWO) interfere with Wi-Fi communications during specific times, presenting experimental analysis of MWO signals and their impact on connectivity. The research delves into MWO signal characteristics, power spectral density, spectrograms, interference spectrums, and techniques for interference mitigation in Wi-Fi channels. Findings from data transmission experiments on 802.11 channel 1 highlight the significance of understanding and addressing MWO interference for improved Wi-Fi performance.

  2. Why can I never connect to the internet during lunch time everyday? Study of Interference by MicroWave Ovens (MWO)

  3. Experimental Analysis of MWO Signal • The Residential MWO signal is synchronized with the 60 Hz AC line cycle, and it radiates in the positive half cycle only. • The MWO signal has the main characteristics: • An AM-FM signal that is radiated for about 5-6 ms. • Transient signals before and after FM signal (~1ms). “On” cycle of MWO

  4. Power Spectral Density of MWO Signal • Most power is concentrated over the narrow frequency range (15 MHz) swept by AM-FM signal. • There is power scattered over entire ISM band. • The wideband power is due to transients.
