By reading your post, my understanding is that your task in the project is to analyze the performance of a wireless network

The information below is an idea of what may be necessary for you to analyze. I'm no expert in wireless networks, my knowledge of the topic is from a prep class for the CWNA.

You will probably need to analyze wireless network characteristics such as signal strenght, AP locations, area of coverage, items that cause interference in the network

A spectrum analyzer may be used to determine the signal-to-noise ratio

Have you been asked to do this for your job may I ask?

dear friend,

For the site survey we are using the tool ...Airmagnet

site survey means, initially with the map of the area to decide where to place the access points and how may required for that site.

after installing the AP to check the signal strenth we use airmagnet professional which gives the signal strength info...
