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.

What are applications of attenuators?
multimetersc.r.o probes
Applications of a circular waveguides?
attenuators and phaseshifters
What Attenuators are the only type permitted by the FCC for WLAN systems?
Fixed-Loss
Attenuators are the opposite of a what?
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.
What are the factor that contribute to the optical fiber loss?
Due to No of connectors, No of splicing, Quality of Fiber / connectors, Not using Attenuator according to the distance, by using dirty attenuators, etc.
What use of c in circuits?
C = capacitors. Capcitors can be used to store voltages so that they become voltage sources, or they can be used in mixed A/D circuits as timers, attenuators, filters, etc.
What are the functions of attenuator?
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
What has the author R H Espeland written?
R. H. Espeland has written: 'Rain attenuation measurements at 28.8, 57.6, and 96.1 GHz on a 1-km path' -- subject(s): Millimeter waves, Rain and rainfall, Radio attenuators
Where can you purchase an attenuator?
Logarithmic attenuators are common on scientific calculators, but can have their own stand alone features. You can purchase an attenuator from any electrical or carry on device stores. The most common is PC Richard or Staples. Regardless of where you purchase it, you will find it to be convenient to use rather than those hefty and confusing formulas.
Materials that carry sound waves are called what?
All materials carry sound. The harder the better usually. In rooms that need to be sound-proof, the whole room is suspended from the building structure.
How do you calculate lost volts?
There's a couple ways. You could count the number of semiconductor junctions, resistances and other voltage attenuators, do all your Ohm's Law and drop calculations to come up with a reasonably good number...but if the circuit has been constructed, you could always just power it up, read the voltages at the supply and at whatever point you're trying to calculate the voltage loss for, and subtract one from the other.
What are the functions of variables?
Neither the C nor C++ languages specify variable attenuators. In engineering, an "attenuator" is something that reduces the amplification of a signal or other source. The closest C or any other programming language would come to such an operation is through the negative "-", divide "/" or bitwise-right ">>" operators. If this is in reference to a library which interacts with a physical mechanism through C, you will need to refer to the manual for the library's API for further information.
