Right Answer:
A gateway is a device that connects two different networks and allows communication between them, while a firewall is a security device that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.

Right Answer:
IP Splicing, also known as IP Hijacking, is a technique where an attacker takes control of an IP address that is not assigned to them, allowing them to intercept, redirect, or manipulate network traffic intended for that IP address.

Right Answer:
Challenge/Response is an authentication method where a server sends a challenge (a random number or string) to a client, and the client must respond with a valid response generated using a secret key or password. This process verifies the client's identity without transmitting the actual password.

Right Answer:
A Trojan Horse is a type of malicious software that disguises itself as a legitimate program to trick users into installing it, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to the user's system.

Right Answer:
Least Privilege is a security principle that grants users and systems the minimum level of access necessary to perform their tasks, reducing the risk of unauthorized actions or breaches.

Right Answer:
A tunneling router is a device that encapsulates data packets within another protocol to enable secure communication over a network, often used to connect remote networks or users through a virtual private network (VPN).

Right Answer:
A cryptographic checksum is a value generated from data using a cryptographic hash function, which ensures data integrity by allowing verification that the data has not been altered.

Right Answer:
The two servers can communicate through the firewall by allowing specific traffic based on defined rules. This is typically done by configuring the firewall to permit certain ports and protocols that the servers use to communicate, such as HTTP (port 80), HTTPS (port 443), or other necessary services. Additionally, using VPNs or tunneling can secure the communication between the servers through the firewall.

Right Answer:
A Bastion Host is a secure server that acts as a gateway between an external network (like the internet) and an internal network, providing a controlled access point for remote users to connect to the internal network while minimizing security risks.

Right Answer:
IP spoofing is a technique where an attacker sends IP packets from a false (or "spoofed") source address to disguise their identity or impersonate another device on a network.

Right Answer:
A screening router is a type of router that filters incoming and outgoing traffic based on predefined security rules, allowing or blocking data packets to enhance network security.

Right Answer:
I&R stands for Installation and Repair. It involves setting up and maintaining RF (Radio Frequency) systems, ensuring they function correctly and efficiently. This includes tasks like installing antennas, configuring equipment, troubleshooting issues, and performing regular maintenance.

Right Answer:
In my last company, I was responsible for installing and maintaining RF systems, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring optimal performance of the network. I also collaborated with the team to plan and execute projects related to RF installations and upgrades.

Right Answer:
VSWR stands for Voltage Standing Wave Ratio. It is a measure of how efficiently radio frequency power is transmitted from a power source, through a transmission line, into a load (like an antenna). A VSWR of 1:1 indicates perfect matching, while higher values indicate increasing levels of mismatch and reflected power.

Right Answer:
To find out VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) losses, use the formula:

[ text{VSWR Loss (dB)} = 10 log_{10} left( frac{1 + text{VSWR}}{1 - text{VSWR}} right) ]

First, calculate the VSWR using the formula:

[ text{VSWR} = frac{V_{max}}{V_{min}} ]

where ( V_{max} ) is the maximum voltage and ( V_{min} ) is the minimum voltage along the transmission line. Then, substitute the VSWR value into the loss formula to determine the losses in dB.

Right Answer:
A transfer curve is a graphical representation that shows the relationship between the input and output of a device or system, typically illustrating how the output changes in response to varying input levels.

Right Answer:
Thermal impedance is a measure of a material's resistance to heat flow, indicating how effectively heat can be conducted away from a device or component. It is defined as the ratio of temperature difference to the power dissipated, typically expressed in degrees Celsius per watt (°C/W).

Right Answer:
The main filter types are:

1. Low-pass filter
2. High-pass filter
3. Band-pass filter
4. Band-stop (notch) filter
5. All-pass filter

Right Answer:
Noise figure (NF) is a measure of how much noise a device adds to a signal compared to an ideal device. It quantifies the degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as the signal passes through the device.

Right Answer:
An amplifier is an electronic device that increases the power, voltage, or current of a signal.
