“RF” stands for “radio frequency”

“RSS” stands for “Radio Standards Specification”

“WLAN” stands for “Wireless Local Area Network”
The Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) radio
frequencies may contain emis sions from microwave
ovens, heaters, and other non-communication devices.
While these types of devices usually pose no threat of
interference as they are low-powered devices, the
possibility exists that some indus trial high power systems
may wipe out any attempted communication use of a
WLAN. Therefore, perform a site survey and interference
analysis with a spectrum analyzer to view the entire
spectrum, looking for signals that might not only be within
the frequency range of the intended WLAN but also could
be near or at the same frequency and cause interference.
