    What are the two major ways to implement a client server network?

    • First/last

    • High/low

    • Thick/thin

    • Client/workstation

    Correct Answer
    A. Thick/thin
    Explanation
    Thick/thin refers to two major ways of implementing a client-server network. In a thick client model, the client machine performs most of the processing and storage, while the server is responsible for data storage and management. In contrast, a thin client model offloads most of the processing and storage to the server, with the client machine primarily serving as a display terminal. These two approaches offer different trade-offs in terms of cost, performance, and scalability, allowing organizations to choose the most suitable implementation for their specific needs.

    When the gain of an anisotropic radiator is compared to the isotropic radiator, the stronger signal of the directional antenna is expressed as

    • Decibels (dB) gain

    • DB plus

    • Over voltage

    • Over watts

    Correct Answer
    A. Decibels (dB) gain
    Explanation
    When the gain of an anisotropic radiator is compared to the isotropic radiator, the stronger signal of the directional antenna is expressed as decibels (dB) gain. Gain is a measure of the increase in power or intensity of a signal produced by an antenna compared to a reference antenna. Decibels (dB) is a logarithmic unit used to express the ratio of two values, in this case, the ratio of the signal strength of the directional antenna to the signal strength of the isotropic radiator. Therefore, expressing the gain in decibels (dB) helps to quantify and compare the increased signal strength of the directional antenna.
