Attenuation means the reduction of signal strength during transmission. If one is looking for information about attenuation, it can be found on the Wikipedia website.
Attenuation distortion is the distortion of an analog signal that occurs during transmission when the transmission medium does not have a flat frequency response across the bandwidth of the medium.
pch Answer: Attenuation
repeater
It is the loss of data from the coaxial cable during transmission .
transmission impairment have three parts (1) Attenuation (2) Distortion (3) Noise
In CATV system, insertion loss define as loss in directional coupler or TAP connector. typically 1 dBuv, while attenuation is generally describe as loss in transmission (splitter).
Signal attenuation along a transmission route The amplification that signals require along a transmission route to maintain their strength
loss of signal strength as distance increases The reduction of signal energy during transmission.
It depends on the repeater. Those that receive a signal, buffer it in real time and pass it on as a digital signal will reduce the effects of attenuation. Those that receive a signal and regenerate it with a new clock signal will generally eliminate the effects of attenuation completely.The type of repeater used depends on where and how it is used as well as the signal that is being transmitted.
There is no attenuation due to absorption, but attenuation will occur due to divergence (spreading out) of the wave.
6 dB is a "good" attenuation.
