What metric is used to express a relative increase or decrease in signal strength?

  1. W
  2. dBm
  3. dB
  4. mW

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Decibel (dB): A logarithmic unit expressing ratios of power or signal strength. It's used in RF contexts due to the wide range of signal levels encountered.
Examples:
dBm: Decibels relative to one milliwatt (power measurement). dBi: Decibels relative to an isotropic antenna (antenna gain).

As an RF signal propagates it becomes weaker at any given measurement point as it gets farther away from the transmitter.
What concept is described?

  1. RF latency
  2. Free Space Path Loss
  3. Beamwidth
  4. Diffraction

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Free Space Path Loss (FSPL): Describes how a radio signal weakens as it travels through open space, even without obstacles. It's caused by the signal spreading out, resulting in decreased power density at the receiver.
Calculation: FSPL depends on distance and frequency.

You are implementing a smart office wireless solution for a small business. The business owner indicates that It is acceptable to use consumer-targeted wireless devices.
What is a common negative attribute of consumer-targeted smart home or smart office devices?

  1. They rarely support features required for small business deployment
  2. They often operate only in the 2.4 GHz frequency band used by 802.11 devices
  3. They typically only support FHSS modulation schemes
  4. They usually stop working after twelve months

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Consumer Smart Devices Limitation: Many consumer-oriented smart devices are designed for simplicity and cost-effectiveness, leading to reliance on the crowded 2.4 GHz band.
Consequences:
High Interference: Increased potential for interference from Wi-Fi and other 2.4 GHz devices. Limited scalability: Performance and reliability may degrade in busy wireless environments.



What is most often used to track livestock on large farms and identify each animal Individually?

  1. Photodiode sensors
  2. RFID tags
  3. 802.11 wireless radios
  4. Thermistor sensors

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

RFID for Livestock: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are the most widely used technology for livestock tracking and individual identification on large farms.
Benefits:
Unique ID: Each RFID tag has a unique code.
Data Storage: Some tags store information about the animal.
Durability: Tags withstand outdoor conditions.
Automated Reading: Tags can be scanned quickly.

What kind of PoE device can be used to power a non-PoE connected object assuming PoE power is provided on the Ethernet cable?

  1. PoE midspan injector
  2. PoE endspan switch
  3. PoE coupler
  4. PoE splitter

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

PoE Splitter: A PoE splitter separates power and data from a PoE-enabled Ethernet cable, allowing the powering of non-PoE devices.
Other PoE Devices:
PoE Injector: Adds power to non-PoE Ethernet cable.
PoE Switch: Provides power directly through its ports.



What is a common characteristic of Industrial IoT (IIoT) devices that is not a characteristic of all IoT devices?

  1. Ruggedized devices constructed for operating in harsh environments
  2. Use of standardized protocols
  3. Transmission of small amounts of data throughout the day
  4. Use of proprietary protocols

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

IIoT Environments: Industrial IoT (IIoT) often involves deployment in harsh environments (factories, plants, outdoor sites) with:
Extreme temperatures
Dust & Vibrations
Exposure to chemicals or moisture
Ruggedization: IIoT devices are designed to withstand these conditions, ensuring reliability and longevity.


Reference:

IIoT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Internet_of_things Rugged Devices: Articles on ruggedized electronics will emphasize their importance in industrial settings.



A Wi-Fi enabled weight scale is an example of what kind of health IoT device?

  1. implantable
  2. wearable
  3. non-wearable
  4. injectable

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Health IoT Device Categories:

Wearable: Devices worn on the body (smartwatches, fitness trackers). Non-wearable: Devices used without being worn (smart scales, connected medical equipment). Implantable: Surgically inserted devices (pacemakers, glucose monitors).


Reference:

Health IoT: Resources on healthcare + IoT will illustrate device types.



In the simplified three-layer model for wireless IoT, what is the universal primary function of the Perception layer?

  1. Gathering and transmitting data to be used for actions, analysis or reporting
  2. Analyzing data for actions and reporting using AI and ML
  3. Decrypting local data to send across the unencrypted IoT network
  4. Providing the network across which data can be transmitted to the cloud

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Perception Layer: The foundation of an IoT system, it consists of sensors and actuators that:
Sense: Collect data about the environment or object being monitored. Actuate: Potentially make changes based on commands (e.g., a smart valve opening/closing). Transmit: Send gathered data to upper layers for processing.
