noun
(Electrical engineering: Circuits, Computing and control)
Attenuation is loss of signal power or amplitude caused during its transmission through a particular medium.
External attenuation involves placing a device between the amplifier and speaker, which reduces the amplifier'spower and controls the overall volume level.
The strength of the signal will reduce because of the attenuation the circuit provides through losses.
