When calculating the link budget for a wireless point-to-point bridge, the engineer notices that one antenna has its gain marked as 2.85 dBd. With a 20- mW access point and 3-dBi loss for the cable, what is the approximate EIRP?
A. 15 dBm
B. 18 dBm
C. 22 dBm
D. 25 dBm
Sorry. Correct answer is A.
15 dBm. (20mW is equal to 13 dBm)
Antenna gain is 5 dBi (2.85 dBd + 2.14)
Correct answer is C.
22 dBm
