Attenuation

Attenuation is the process of reducing an RF signal’s amplitude. This is occasionally done intentionally with attenuators to reduce a signal’s strength to fall within a regulatory domain’s imposed constraints. Loss is the result of attenuation, and gain is the result of amplification. RF cables, connectors, and devices may have some level of imposed attenuation, and this attenuation is usually stated in decibels and is often stated as loss in decibels per foot—this is also known as insertion loss. Insertion loss is the loss incurred by simply inserting the object (cable, connector, etc.) into the path of the RF signal between the source and the intentional radiator.


( sometimes small topics are not easy to remember, I felt in this problem several times. so I am try to help myself.)
