3(a) What is the operating frequency of Zigbee and what is the wavelength?
(b). Explain the data format for the Zigbee protocol.
a) Operating frequency of Zigbee is 2.4 GHz in most jurisdictions worldwide; though there are some devices which use 784 MHz in China, 868 MHz in Europe and 915 MHz in the USA and Australia, but they still use 2.4 GHz for most commercial Zigbee devices.
Wavelength for the frequency of 2.4GHz is,
where C = Speed of light = 3x108 m/s and f = Frequency
So, wavelegth = 3x108 / 2.4x109
= 0.125 m
b) Data format for the Zigbee protocol :
