A wireless floppy disk drive is proposed for home and office wireless local area network. The proposed floppy drive uses turbo
coding-decoding in the transceiver PHYsical layer (PHY) to improve system performance. The data transmission rate is about
11 Mbps. The covered distance is 30 meters in obstructed environment and 100 m in free space.
Key words WLAN - Turbo coding-decoding - Wireless floppy disk drive - Transceiver PHYsical layer
