802.11 PHY
The 802.11 PHY implements all the standard required functionality and GainSpan specific
functionality for 802.11b/g/n protocols. It also implements the Radar detection
functionality to support 802.11h. The PHY implements the complete baseband Tx and Rx
pipeline. It interfaces with the MAC to perform transmit and receive operations. It
interfaces directly to the ADC and DAC. The PHY implements the Transmit power control,
receive Automatic Gain Control and other RF control signals to enable transmit and
receive. The PHY also computes the CCA for MAC use.
