The article describes electromagnetic propagation and how RF engineering concepts can be applied specifically to 802.11 Wi-Fi WLANs. The popular formulae often applied to wireless networking are explained in clear, concise terms, with the math and physics being included. These include free space path loss, Fresnel zone calculation, and even an introduction to the Maxwell wave equations. The official title of the paper is, "I'm Going to Let My Chauffeur Answer That.", an allusion to a humorous story explained in the paper.
