What is Attenuation?
Attenuation is a term in communication that refers to loss (reduction) in signal strength when a signal is transmitted from sender to the receiver. This loss happens due to a variety of factors. Attenuation can happen in both analog and digital signal. It is measured using decibels(dB).
Attenuation
In this article, we will be discussing about attenuation. We will also discuss about attenuation in optical fiber and networking. We will look into the various factors that causes attenuation in optical fiber and networking. We will discuss about attenuation coefficient. We also will discuss how can we measure attenuation and the methods that are available to measure. In addition to this, we will discuss how can attenuation be prevented. We will also compare attenuation with amplification and see their differences. Later in this article, we will discuss about the various advantages, disadvantages and application of attenuation.
