Attenuator: Precision Signal Strength Controller

An electrical power attenuator is a device that lowers the output signal voltage with respect to the load. Such devices are simple in construction since they utilize an array of resistance power loads which maintain a specified power and achieve the required value of attenuation. While their usage is highly technical in devices like power amplifiers, during RF testing, and in the conditioning of signals, aver crossing over to the more general and practical fields such as usage in reverse directional couplers makes this tool incredibly handy.
