CWNA: Certified Wireless Network Administrator v108 — Question 8

What can an impedance mismatch in the RF cables and connectors cause?

Answer options

• A. Increased range of the RF signal
• B. Fewer MCS values in the MCS table
• C. Increased amplitude of the RF signal
• D. Excessive VSWR

Correct answer: D

Explanation

An impedance mismatch in RF cables and connectors typically leads to excessive Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), indicating inefficient power transfer and potential signal degradation. The other options, while related to RF signal characteristics, do not accurately describe the consequences of impedance mismatch.
