Consider a Wi-Fi device that transmits a 0.1 W signal using a 2 dBi antenna. If the EIRP of the Wi-Fi device is 20 dBm. Find the systems and cable losses at the transmitter? Handwritten Calculation Required.
a) 4 dB
b) 3 dB
c) 1dB
d) 2dB
EIRP = Transmit Power + Antenna Gain - Cable Losses
Given:
Transmit Power = 0.1 W = 20 dBm
Antenna Gain = 2 dBi
EIRP = 20 dBm
20 dBm = 20 dBm + 2 dBi - Cable Losses
Cable Losses = 2 dBi - 0 dB = 2 dB
Therefore, the answer is d) 2 dB.
