An installer reads a spectrum note about a weak carrier on a city hall AP and must identify which characteristic describes the wave's height or power magnitude. Which choice is correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A weak carrier is a 'short wave' on the strength chart — that is amplitude. The channel can be perfectly correct and the wave still look small. Fixing weakness starts with understanding you are talking about magnitude, not retuning pitch for no reason.
Full Explanation
Amplitude characterizes the magnitude of the RF wave and is the property associated with power or signal strength observations such as a weak carrier. Frequency identifies how fast the carrier oscillates, phase describes relative cycle position, and wavelength is a spatial period — none of which is the primary label for 'wave height' or power magnitude in this objective family.
