Information About

Attenuator




An attenuator is an Electronic device that reduces the Amplitude or Power of a Signal without appreciably Distorting its Waveform . Attenuators are usually passive devices made from resistors. The degree of Attenuation may be fixed, continuously adjustable, or incrementally adjustable.

Fixed Electrical attenuators are often called pads, especially in Telephony . The Input and Output Impedance s of an electrical attenuator are usually matched to the impedances of the signal source and Load , respectively.
