Which one of the following is the best strategy for avoiding interference between neighboring channels in the 2.4-GHz band?
  • A.
    Use any channel number that seems to be available
  • B.
    Leverage 802.11n for 40-MHz aggregated channels
  • C.
    Use only channels that are spaced four numbers apart, beginning with channel 1
  • D.
    Use only channels that are spaced five numbers apart, beginning with channel 1
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [D]
Explanation :
In the 2.4-GHz band, channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only ones that are spaced far enough apart (five channel numbers) that they do not overlap.

Which one of the following is the primary cause of free space path loss?
  • A.
    Spreading
  • B.
    Absorption
  • C.
    Humidity levels
  • D.
    Magnetic field decay
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [A]
Explanation :
Energy traveling in an electromagnetic wave spreads in three dimensions, weakening the signal strength over a distance.

Which one of the following has the shortest effective range in free space, assuming that the same transmit power level is used for each?
  • A.
    An 802.11g device
  • B.
    An 802.11a device
  • C.
    An 802.11b device
  • D.
    None of these answers
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [B]
Explanation :
The 802.11b and g devices operate at 2.4 GHz, which is less affected by free space loss than the 802.11a device, at 5 GHz.

Suppose that an 802.11a device moves away from a transmitter. As the signal strength decreases, which one of the following might the device or the transmitter do to improve the signal quality along the way?
  • A.
    Aggregate more channels
  • B.
    Use more radio chains
  • C.
    Switch to a more complex modulation scheme
  • D.
    Switch to a less-complex modulation scheme
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [D]
Explanation :
By switching to a less-complex modulation scheme, more of the data stream can be repeated to overcome worsening RF conditions. This can be done automatically through DRS.

When RF signals are reflected by objects in a building, which one of the following best describes the result that might be experienced at a receiver?
  • A.
    Fresnel loss
  • B.
    Multipath
  • C.
    Cross-channel fading
  • D.
    Free space path loss
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [B]
Explanation :
As a signal is reflected, a new copy travels in a different direction. Each copy of the signal takes a different path to reach the receiver; thus, the name multipath.
