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






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






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






4. 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






5. A transmission technique that transmits data over different channels with in an assigned frequency range. Each channel is broadcast separately - or multiplexed.






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






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






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






9. The ability of an antenna to transmit electromagnetic signals in all directions






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






11. The bandwidth of a carrier wave






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






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






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






15. 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






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






17. Electromagnetic waves with a frequency range of 10 kHz to 3 -000 -000 MHz






18. Interference that matches the frequency of the carrier wave






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






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






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






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






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






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






25. A Bluetooth network






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






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






28. 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






29. An unrestricted path for network transmissions
