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 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.
Where should cross talk attenuators be fitted?
Cross talk attenuators should be fitted at points in a communication system where signal interference is likely to occur, such as between adjacent channels or circuits in a multiplexer or demultiplexer. They are particularly useful in environments with high-density cabling or where multiple signals are transmitted close together, helping to minimize unwanted signal coupling. Proper placement can enhance overall system performance by improving signal integrity and reducing noise.
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.
What is forward path attenuator?
A forward path attenuator is a device used in communication systems to reduce the strength of a signal passing through it. It is commonly used to adjust the signal level to the desired amount needed for proper transmission or processing. Attenuators can help prevent signal distortion and improve overall system performance.
What are the machines used for wave power called?
The machines used for wave power are called wave energy converters (WECs). These devices capture energy from the motion of waves and convert it into electricity. WECs come in various designs, such as point absorbers, oscillating water columns, and attenuators.
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.
