Abstract :
An experimental evaluation of 802.11g+n based wireless local area network (WLAN) devices with omnidirectional and directive antennas under interference is investigated in this paper. The performance of directive antennas is known to be better if the interference signal is coming from the sidelobes´ directions. Here we studied the performance difference between directive and omnidirectional antennas when the interference signal is originated between a transmitter and a receiver.
