Click here for the complete list of RF Cafe Quizzes. Note: Some material based on books have quoted passages.  This quiz is based on the information presented in Multi-Gigabit Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Wireless Communications, by Jonathan Wells. Artech House is the publisher.1. Which entity is the primary regulatory agency in the world with responsibility for coordinating shared global use of the radio spectrum? a) WWR (World Wide Radio) b) GCU (Global Communications Union) c) URU (Universal Radio Union) d) ITU (International Telecommunication Union) 2. What is a primary obstacle to FSO (Free Space Optics) terrestrial usage? a) Very high attenuation b) Nighttime-only operation c) Difficulty generating the light d) FM radio interference 3. Which condition causes the least amount of attenuation on electromagnetic signals? a) Moist air b) Dry air c) High wind d) Low wind 4. What is the equation for determining attenuation factor (specific attenuation) due to snow and ice? (R=snowfall rate in mm/hr, λ=wavelength in mm) a) Attenuation Factor = λ/R b) Attenuation Factor = λ/R2 c) Attenuation Factor = λ/R3 d) Attenuation Factor = [(0.00349*R1.6)/λ4] + [(0.00224*R)/λ] 5. What is the equation for determining attenuation due to foliage? (f=frequency in MHz, R=depth of foliage in m) a) Loss = 10 log (f2R) b) Loss = 20 log (fR) c) Loss = 20R log (f) d) Loss = 0.2f0.3R0.6 6.

What does the image to the right depict?a) An NTSC test signal for CATV b) 256 QAM with phase noise c) The whirlpool constellation d) RF astigmatism 8. Which frequencies in the 60 GHz band are allocated by the FCC for unlicensed use? a) 57 to 64 GHz b) Only at 60 GHz c) 71 to 74 GHz d) There are no unlicensed bands at 60 GHz 9. What is a link budget? a) The cost of a communications system b) The total link count in a communications system c) A fictitious number representing system performance d) An accounting of all gains and losses in a communications system 10.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The Internet was still largely an unknown entity at the time and not much was available in the form of WYSIWYG ...
