Category: Attenuators

The Passive Attenuator is a purely resistive network that is used to weaken or “attenuate” the signal level of a transmission line while improving the impedance match,

As its name implies, the bridged-T attenuator has an additional resistive element forming a bridged network across the two series resistors of the standard T-pad. This additional

The Pi-pad attenuator is so called because its basic layout and design resembles that of the Greek letter pi ( π ), meaning that it has one

The difference this time is that this type of attenuator is used in frequency dependent circuits to create loss (attenuation) in a transmission line or

An attenuator is a two port resistive network designed to weaken or “attenuate” (hence their name) the power being supplied by a source to a

Although not as common, this “T” (tee) configuration can also be thought of as a wye “Y” attenuator configuration as well. Unlike the previous L-pad
