Question 21

What can an impedance mismatch in the RF cables and connectors cause?

Increased range of the RF signal
Increased range of the RF signal
Fewer MCS values in the MCS table
Fewer MCS values in the MCS table
Increased amplitude of the RF signal
Increased amplitude of the RF signal
Excessive VSWR
Excessive VSWR
Suggested answer: D
Explanation:

VSWR stands for Voltage Standing Wave Ratio, which is a measure of how well the impedance of the RF cable and connectors matches the impedance of the transmitter and the antenna. Impedance is the opposition to the flow of alternating current in an RF circuit, and it depends on the frequency, resistance, capacitance, and inductance of the components. A perfect impedance match would have a VSWR of 1:1, meaning that all the power is transferred from the transmitter to the antenna, and none is reflected back. However, in reality, there is always some degree of mismatch, which causes some power to be reflected back to the transmitter, creating standing waves along the cable. This reduces the efficiency and performance of the wireless system, and can also damage the transmitter.Excessive VSWR can be caused by using poor quality or damaged cables and connectors, or by using components that have different impedance ratings123.Reference:CWNA-109 Study Guide, Chapter 2: Radio Frequency Fundamentals, page 90;CWNA-109 Study Guide, Chapter 2: Radio Frequency Fundamentals, page 86;CWNP website, CWNA Certification.

What factor does not influence the distance at which an RF signal can be effectively received?

Receiving station's radio sensitivity
Receiving station's radio sensitivity
Receiving station's output power
Receiving station's output power
Transmitting station's output power
Transmitting station's output power
Free Space Path Loss
Free Space Path Loss
Suggested answer: B
Explanation:

In wireless communication, several factors influence the effective reception of RF signals, including the receiving station's radio sensitivity, the transmitting station's output power, and free space path loss. However, the receiving station's output power does not influence the distance at which an RF signal can be effectively received. The key factors that impact signal reception distance are:

Receiving Station's Radio Sensitivity: This refers to the lowest signal strength at which the receiver can process a signal with an acceptable error rate. Higher sensitivity allows for better reception at greater distances.

Transmitting Station's Output Power: This is the power with which a transmitter sends out a signal. Higher output power can extend the range of transmission, making it easier for distant receivers to detect the signal.

Free Space Path Loss (FSPL): FSPL represents the attenuation of radio energy as it travels through free space. It increases with distance and frequency, reducing the signal strength as the distance from the transmitter increases.

The output power of the receiving station is related to how strong a signal it sends out, not how well it can receive or process incoming signals. Therefore, it does not affect the reception distance of incoming RF signals.

Question 23

Report Export Collapse

A WLAN transmitter that emits a 50 mW signal is connected to a cable with 3 dB loss. If the cable is connected to an antenna with 9dBi gain, what is the EIRP at the antenna element?

26 dBm
26 dBm
13 dBm
13 dBm
23 dBm
23 dBm
10 dBm
10 dBm
Suggested answer: C
Explanation:

To calculate the EIRP at the antenna element, we need to add the transmitter output power, subtract the cable loss, and add the antenna gain. All these values need to be converted to dBm first, if they are not already given in that unit. In this case, we have:

Transmitter output power = 50 mW = 10 log (50) dBm = 16.99 dBm Cable loss = 3 dB Antenna gain = 9 dBi

EIRP = Transmitter output power - Cable loss + Antenna gain EIRP = 16.99 - 3 + 9 EIRP = 22.99 dBm

Rounding up to the nearest integer, we get23 dBmas the EIRP at the antenna element12.Reference:CWNA-109 Study Guide, Chapter 2: Radio Frequency Fundamentals, page 92;CWNA-109 Study Guide, Chapter 2: Radio Frequency Fundamentals, page 88.
