RCDD · Question #242
Which of the following is NOT a primary type of DAS antenna?
The correct answer is C. Polarized. The three primary DAS antenna types are directional, omnidirectional, and radiation cable; polarization is an antenna characteristic, not a distinct antenna category.

Why each option
The three primary DAS antenna types are directional, omnidirectional, and radiation cable; polarization is an antenna characteristic, not a distinct antenna category.
Directional antennas are a recognized primary DAS antenna type used to focus RF energy toward a specific coverage zone or sector within a facility.
Omnidirectional antennas are a recognized primary DAS antenna type that radiate signal equally in all horizontal directions, commonly deployed for broad in-building coverage.
Polarized is not a primary DAS antenna type - polarization describes the orientation of an antenna's electromagnetic field (e.g., vertical, horizontal, or circular) and is a property shared by both directional and omnidirectional antennas rather than defining a separate antenna category used in DAS architecture.
Radiation cable, also known as leaky feeder cable, is a recognized primary DAS component that continuously radiates RF signal along its length and is commonly used in tunnels, stairwells, and corridors.
