Which two criteria must be considered when conducting an outdoor bridge site survey? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is B. weather E. Fresnel zone. Outdoor bridge site surveys must account for weather effects on signal propagation and Fresnel zone clearance to ensure reliable point-to-point link performance.

Why each option

Outdoor bridge site surveys must account for weather effects on signal propagation and Fresnel zone clearance to ensure reliable point-to-point link performance.

Anear-far effect

The near-far effect relates to power imbalance between close and distant transmitters in shared-medium systems and is not a primary outdoor bridge site survey criterion.

BweatherCorrect

Weather conditions such as rain, fog, and wind cause signal attenuation and can physically shift antenna alignment, directly degrading outdoor bridge link reliability - especially over long distances where rain fade becomes a measurable factor.

Ctraffic lights

Traffic lights operate in optical and low-power control bands that do not meaningfully interfere with 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz outdoor bridge frequencies.

Dpower lines

Power lines can cause minor EMI but are not a primary site survey criterion for outdoor bridges; Fresnel zone clearance and weather have far greater impact on link quality.

EFresnel zoneCorrect

The Fresnel zone is the elliptical RF propagation region between antennas that must remain at least 60% clear of obstructions; blockage within this zone causes diffraction losses that significantly reduce received signal strength and link budget.
