In modern world, the Wireless Local Area Network standards are playing a key role in exchanging the information between the transmitter and receiver. In this paper, IEEE 802.11a WLAN standard is chosen to investigate the effects of various channels like Additive White Gaussian Noise channel (AWGN), Phase Noise (PN) of MIMO radio channel and Multipath Fading channel. IEEE 802.11a operates on 5GHz, as compared to other IEEE standards such as IEEE 802.11b/g, it has been interference free, since the 2.4GHz band is heavily used. The Bit-Error Rate(BER) versus Signal –to Noise ratio (SNR) are measured for above channels using Agilent’s Advanced Design System(ADS) Software at the throughput of 24Mbps.And compared with ideal case of BER to SNR value of 10 -5 . The result shows the performance of the wireless system.
