Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSD) — Question 56
During a wireless network design, a customer requires wireless coverage on the perimeter of a building but also wants to minimize signal leakage from the wireless network. Which antenna should be used to accomplish this design?
Answer options
- A. omnidirectional
- B. patch
- C. monopole
- D. dipole
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The patch antenna is the correct choice because it provides focused coverage in a specific direction, which helps minimize signal leakage while still covering the perimeter. Omnidirectional antennas distribute signal in all directions, leading to more leakage, while monopole and dipole antennas have similar omnidirectional characteristics that do not meet the client's requirements.
