CWNP Certified Wireless Network Administrator Sample Questions:
What statements accurately describe the RF cables and connectors that are used in an
802.11 WLAN system? (Choose 3)
- A. Two RF connectors of the same type (e.g. SMA), manufactured by different companies, may vary in specifications.
- B. Every RF connector causes insertion loss.
- C. 75 and 125 ohms are the typical impedances of 802.11 WLAN connectors.
- D. Large diameter RF cables cause greater loss than smalldiameter cables.
- E. RF cables have upper and lower frequency range specifications.
Correct Answer: A,B,E 🗳️
What statement is true concerning the use of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM) in IEEE 802.11 WLANs?
- A. In 802.11a OFDM, fifty-six (56) subcarriers are used as parallel symbol transmission paths to carry data.
- B. With 802.11a OFDM, 16-QAM provides either 48 or 54 Mbps data rates, dependingupon coding rates.
- C. 802.11a/g/n OFDM includes several combinations of modulation and coding to achieve data rates from 1-600 Mbps.
- D. 802.11ac VHT-OFDM utilizes 256-QAM, which increases the data rate significantlyover
64-QAM available in HT-OFDM. - E. 802.11a and 11n use six (6) "pilot" subcarriers as a reference for thereceiver to detect frequency and phase shifts of the signal.
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
What HT technology requires MIMO support on both the transmitter and receiver?
- A. Shot guard intervals
- B. Maximal ratio combining
- C. Spatial multiplexing
- D. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
Correct Answer: C 🗳️
What factors are taken into account when calculating theLink Budget of a point-to-point outdoor WLAN bridge link?
- A. Antenna height
- B. Transmit power
- C. Transmit antenna gain
- D. Operating frequency
Correct Answer: B,C,D 🗳️
When compared with legacyPower Save mode, how does VHT TXOP power save improve battery life for devices on a WLAN?
- A. Legacy Power Save mode was removed in the 802.11ac amendment.
- B. VHT TXOP power save uses the partial AID in the preamble to allow clients to identify frames targeted for them.
- C. VHT TXOP power save allows stations to enter sleep mode and legacy Power Save does not.
- D. VHT TXOP power save allows the WLAN transceiver to disable more components when in a low powerstate.
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
