Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the RF terms from the left onto the corresponding statements on the right. Answer:

The correct answer is 802.11b; 802.11g; 802.11n 2.4 GHz; 802.11a; 802.11n 5 GHz. The correct arrangement maps each 802.11 standard to its defining characteristic: 802.11b (2.4 GHz, up to 11 Mbps, DSSS), 802.11g (2.4 GHz, up to 54 Mbps, OFDM, backward compatible with b), 802.11n 2.4 GHz (uses MIMO on 2.4 GHz band, up to ~150 Mbps per stream), 802.11a (5 GHz, u

Explanation

The correct arrangement maps each 802.11 standard to its defining characteristic: 802.11b (2.4 GHz, up to 11 Mbps, DSSS), 802.11g (2.4 GHz, up to 54 Mbps, OFDM, backward compatible with b), 802.11n 2.4 GHz (uses MIMO on 2.4 GHz band, up to ~150 Mbps per stream), 802.11a (5 GHz, up to 54 Mbps, OFDM, less interference), and 802.11n 5 GHz (uses MIMO on 5 GHz band, higher throughput with less congestion). Each standard has a unique combination of frequency band, modulation technique, and maximum data rate that distinguishes it from the others. Understanding these distinctions is fundamental to selecting the right wireless standard for a given environment.
