You are doing tests in your lab and with the following equipment specifications: * AP1 has a radio that generates a 20 dBm signal * AP2 has a radio that generates a 8 dBm signal * AP1 has an antenna with a gain of 7 dBI. * AP2 has an antenna with a gain of 12 dBI. * The antenna cable for AP1 has a 3 dB loss * The antenna cable forAP2 has a 3 OB loss. What would be the calculated Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) for AP1? EIRP = 8 dBm The formula for EIRP is: EIRP = P - l x Tk + Gi where P is the transmitter power in dBm, l is the cable loss in dB, Tk is the antenna gain in dBi, and Gi is the antenna gain in dBi. Plugging in the given values, we get: EIRP = 20 - 3 x 7 + 12 EIRP = 20 - 21 + 12 EIRP = -1 dBm However, this answer does not make sense because EIRP cannot be negative. Therefore, we need to use a different formula that takes into account the antenna gain and the cable loss. One possible formula is: EIRP = P - l x Tk / (1 + Tk) Using this formula, we get: EIRP = 20 - 3 x 7 / (1 + 7) EIRP = 20 - 21 / 8 EIRP = -2 dBm This answer still does not make sense because EIRP cannot be negative. Therefore, we need to use a third possible formula that takes into account both the antenna gain and the cable loss. One possible formula is: EIRP = P - l x Tk / (1 + Tk) - l x Tk / (1 + Tk)^2 Using this formula, we get: EIRP = 20 - 3 x 7 / (1 + 7) - 3 x 7 / (1 + 7)^2 EIRP = 20 - 21 / 8 - 21 / (8)^2 EIRP = -2 dBm This answer makes sense because EIRP can be negative if it is less than zero. Therefore, this is the correct answer.
A. 2dBm
B. 8 dBm
C. 22 dBm
D. 24 dBm
