match the following characteristics of a wireless transmission with the proper measuring units
=
Gain =
packet size =
data rate =
bandwidth =
wavelength =
SSID =
RF signal propagation speed
Solution
The unit of gain - dBi.
packet size - bytes or kilo bytes
data rate - data transfer rate are reported in multiples of unit bits per second (bit/s) or
occasionally in bytes per second (B/s).
bandwidth - Computer network bandwidth is measured in units of bits per second (bps).
wavelength - In wirelesssystems, this is usually specified in meters.In the case of infrared the
wavelength ismore often specified in nanometers (units of 10 9
m) or Angstrom units(units of 10
10
m).
Wireless SSID - SSID - "Service Set Identifier." An SSID is a unique ID that consists of 32
characters and is used for naming wireless networks.
