What wireless networking term describes the increase of RF energy in an intentional direction with the use of an antenna?
Passive Gain describes the increase of RF energy in an intentional direction using an antenna. This occurs by focusing or directing the output power without requiring an external power source, leveraging the internal workings of the antenna to enhance the signal strength in a specific direction.
C. Passive Gain CHAPTER 2 - PAGE 60-61 (Official Study Guide) "[...] is an increase in the amplitude of the signal, in a favored direction, by focusing or directing the output power." "Antennas are used to provide intentional passive gain in wireless networks using RF signals."
C is correct Passive gain is accomplished by focusing the RF signal with the use of an antenna, does not require an external power source & Internal workings of the antenna focus the signal more powerfully in one direction than another.
