Who said they did "per-packet diversity"in the OFDM" ? However, the SureFyre 802.11a uses "per-packet diversity". *************************************************************** Key features of the SureFyre 802.11a system solution include: <SNIP> Per packet antenna diversity selection delivers up to 10 dB gain in sensitivity in multipath environments; ******************************************************************** e.g. You have been shown............ > > > > Co-Phasing alone? > > > > * How would you cancel the phase distortion? > > For 802.11? I wouldn't. >From Microwave & RF Design Mag-For Designers At A Higher Frequency Modeling 802.11a-Based WLAN Systems <SNIP> OFDM offers potential for high-data-rate transmission, it also requires additional signal processing for synchronization and other auxiliary receiver(Rx) functions. Some disadvantages of OFDM include susceptibility to oscillator phase noise and sensitivity to transmission amplitude/phase distortion. > > > > * How would you deal with avoidance separation? > > distributed CCA.

No, I said........ "Diversity is a system which employs co-phasing as well other techniques."
