Syntax

fc = wlanChannelFrequency(channel,band)

Description

fc = wlanChannelFrequency(channel,band) calculates the center frequency of the WLAN channel number channel in the operating band band. For more information about IEEE® 802.11™ channel designations, see WLAN Radio Frequency Channels. For a detailed description of country-specific information, operating classes, and behavior limits, see Annex E of [1] and [2].

Open Live Script

Calculate the center frequency of channel 6 in the 2.4 GHz band.

channel = 6;
band = 2.4;
fc = wlanChannelFrequency(channel,band)
fc = 
2.4370e+09

Calculate the center frequency of channels 37, 42, and 91 in the 6 GHz band.

channel = [37 42 91];
band = 6;
fc = wlanChannelFrequency(channel,band)
fc = 1×3

Input Arguments

collapse all

Channel number, specified as one of these values.

  • An integer or array of integers in the interval [1, 14] when you specify the band input as 2.4

  • An integer or array of integers in the interval [1, 200] when you specify the band input as 5

  • An integer or array of integers in the interval [1, 233] when you specify the band input as 6

  • An array of integers in the interval [1,233] when you specify the band input as an array of equal dimensions with entries equal to 2.4, 5, or 6

Data Types: double

Operating band in GHz, specified as one of these values.

  • One of the scalars 2.4, 5, or 6

  • An array of the scalars above when you specify the channel input as an array of equal dimensions with entries in the interval [1,233]

Data Types: double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Channel center frequency, in Hz, returned as one of these values.

  • A positive scalar when you specify the channel and band inputs as scalars

  • An array of positive values when you specify the channel input as an array and the band input as a scalar. The entries of this output are the center frequencies of the channel numbers specified in the corresponding entries of the channel input. The frequency for each channel number is calculated in the operating band specified in the band input

  • An array of positive values when you specify the channel and band inputs as arrays with equal dimensions. The entries of this output are the center frequencies of the channel numbers specified in the corresponding entries of the channel input. The frequency for each channel number is calculated in the operating band specified in the corresponding entry of the band input

Data Types: double
