Comptia Network + Wireless

Instructions:
  • Answer 29 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The bandwidth of a carrier wave






2. The process of mixing a data signal with a carrier wave






3. An electronic device that receives a modulated signal and demodulates it






4. A protocol that combines the wireless authentication method with encryption






5. Wireless network that does not contain a wireless access point (WAP)






6. The band of radio frequencies associated with industrial - scientific - and medical devices






7. An orbit in which a satellite's rotational speed is synchronized with the aearth's rotational speed - making the satellite appear to stay in the same position relative to the Earth






8. A data encryption protocol that makes a wireless network as secure as a wired network






9. An unrestricted path for network transmissions






10. A spread spectrum technique that transmits data on multiple channels simultaneously






11. A wireless network that contains one or more access points (WAPs)






12. A technology based on radio waves connecting to designated areas referred to as cells






13. A standard developed to insure the safe exchange of data between a wireless network and a portable Wi-Fi device such as a cell phone






14. A Bluetooth network






15. The process of separating a data signal from a carrier wave

20. The ability of an antenna to focus or aim an electromagnetic signal in a particular direction






21. An authentication protocol used on both wired and wireless systems






22. A wireless networking device that provides a connection between a wireless network and a cable-based network and controls the data flow of all packets on the wireless network






23. An electronic device that generates a carrier wave and modulates data signals into the carrier wave






24. A transmission technique that uses multiple channels to transmit data either simultaneously or sequentially






25. The time it takes data to be transmitted from the earth to a satellite






26. An electromagnetic wave of a set frequency that is used to carry data






27. A spread spectrum technique that transmits data on multiple channels sequentially






28. Any standard not fully developed and adopted as an official standards recognized by IEEE






29. Refers to wireless network products used in the 802.11 category
