What word describes the bending of an RF signal as it passes between mediums of different density?
Refraction
What causes an excessively high Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) in an 802.11 WLAN?
An impedance mismatch between devices in series with the main RF signal
What factors affect the distance that an RF signal can be effectively received?
1. Transmitting station's antenna type 2.Receiving station's radio sensitivity 3.Fresnel zone blockage
As an RF wave propagates through space, the wave front experiences natural expansion. What is the detrimental effect of this expansion in a WLAN system?
Signal Attenuation
Given: ABC Company's network administrator was just asked to install a 5 GHz OFDM bridge linkbetween two buildings. He connected a WLAN bridge with a 50-ohm output to a 50-ohm RF coaxial cable. He connected the other end of the RF coaxial cable to a 25-ohm, 6 dBi Yagi antenna. What is the maximum VSWR between the WLAN bridge and the Yagi antenna?
2.0:1
Given: Return Loss is the decrease of forward energy in a system because some of the power is being reflected back toward the transmitter. What can cause a high return loss in an RF transmission system?
An impedance mismatch between devices in the RF system
What factor is NOT taken into account when calculating the System Operating Margin of a point-to-point outdoor WLAN bridge link?
Antenna height
Given: A WLAN transmitter that emits a 200 mW signal is connected to a cable with a 9 dB loss, If the cable is connected to an antenna with a 10 dBi gain, what is the EIRP at the antenna element?
250 mW
In a long-distance RF link, what statement about Fade Margin is true?
Fade Margin is an amount of signal strength in addition to the Link Budget.
