Place the answers below the questions.

1. There are three patterns outlined on the screen which one of these is identifying the noise floor?

The first pattern shows the noise floor.

2. What is the approximate signal level of the noise floor?

2.4 GHz band noise floor is -95db

5GHz band noise floor is -100db

3. Of the 11 channels being displayed which ones have the lowest noise floor?

Channel 8-11 have the lowest noise floors.

4. Inside the circle marked as Pattern 2 is this a signal from one of the three unlicensed fequency ranges?

Yes.

5. If it is, what type of signal is this, 900 MHz, 2.4GHz, or 5 GHz?

2.4GHz

6. Inside the circle marked as Pattern 3 is this a signal from one of the three unlicensed signal ranges?

Yes.

7. If it is, what type of signal is this, 900 MHz, 2.4GHz, or 5 GHz?

900MHz

8. In the area marked as Pattern 4 some interference has appeared. What type of interference is this, such as all-channel, co-channel, adjacent-channel?

In the adjacent-channel

9. On what channel has this interference appeared on?

Channel 4 or 5

10. Is this interference weaker than, the same, or stronger than the signal that was there before it appeared?

The interface seems to have a peak at a higher range between channel 4 and 5 and is stronger than channel 6, which is where the interference is taking place.
