What would be the calculated Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) for APT?

You are doing tests in your lab and with the following equipment specifications

* AP1 has a radio that generates a 10 dBm signal

* AP2 has a radio that generates a 11 dBm signal

* AP1 has an antenna with a gain of 9 dBi

* AP2 has an antenna with a gain of 12 dBi.

* The antenna cable for AP1 has a 2 dB loss

* The antenna cable for AP2 has a 3 dB loss

What would be the calculated Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) for APT?
A . 26 dBm
B . 30 dBm
C . 17 dBm
D . -12 dBm

Answer: C

Explanation:

EIRP = Transmitter power + Antenna gain – Cable loss

EIRP for AP1 = 10 dBm + 9 dBi – 2 dB = 17 dBm
