A Cisco dipole antenna is mounted so that it points straight upward and has a radiation pattern that extends in all directions horizontally. Which one of the following best describes the antenna’s likely polarization?
  • A.
    Horizontal polarization
  • B.
    Vertical polarization
  • C.
    Dual polarization
  • D.
    Elliptical polarization
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [B]
Explanation :
Cisco antennas are designed to use vertical polarization. Because the dipole antenna is mounted correctly (pointing straight up or down), the wave will be vertically polarized.

An omnidirectional antenna usually has which of the following characteristics? (Choose two.)
  • A.
    Low gain
  • B.
    Small beamwidth
  • C.
    High gain
  • D.
    Zero gain
  • D.
    Large beamwidth
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [A and E]
Explanation :
An omnidirectional antenna is usually used to cover a large area. Therefore, it has a large beamwidth. Because it covers a large area, its gain is usually low.
