Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 718

What are two characteristics of a directional antenna? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. commonly used to cover large areas
• B. low gain
• C. provides the most focused and narrow beam-width
• D. receive signals equally from all directions
• E. high gain

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct answers, C and E, highlight that directional antennas provide a focused beam-width, allowing for higher gain and improved signal strength in a specific direction. Options A and D describe characteristics of omnidirectional antennas, which are not focused and cover larger areas without the high gain associated with directional antennas. Option B is incorrect as directional antennas are known for their high gain.
