Question

Antenna patterns affect the spectrum available to the users.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in a job interview.

My question is taken from Radio Resource Analysis topic in chapter Software Defined Radio Architecture of Cognitive Radio

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) True

To explain I would say: The spectrum available to users in a particular coverage area depends on the allocated spectrum, antenna patterns, propagation environment, and the radio network architecture. Peer networks employ spatially limited spectrum and hierarchical network employ spatially unlimited spectrum.
