An attenuator decreases (attenuates) the level of the incident signal by a specified, sometimes adjustable amount.
Common uses for attenuators include limiting signal strength, buffering components, or adjusting power levels
An attenuator is the opposite of an amplifier. An attenuator is used for reducing the power of a signal. An attenuator is able to do this without modifying the waveform of the signal.
different types of material used in attenuator
An attenuator is an electronic device that reduces the amplitude or power of a signal without appreciably distorting its waveform. attenuator just decrease its amplitude and the attenuator you can take it as a opposite of amplifier. Amplifier just modifies the input signal gives amplified output signal
attenuator (disambiguation)An attenuator has three distinct meanings:* attenuator (electronics) is an electronic device that reduces the amplitude of a signal* attenuator (genetics) refers to specific regulatory sequence transcribed into RNA* impact attenuators are used on highways as a crumple zone in case of a car crash.Above retrieved from Answers.comViper1

Nothing
To prevent saturation
If the field winding of an attenuator gets open, the attenuator will not be able to control its attenuation level properly. This could result in erratic or no attenuation of the signal passing through the attenuator, leading to unpredictable behavior in the circuit or system it is a part of. Repair or replacement of the attenuator may be necessary to restore proper functioning.
