Translation of "attenuation" into Hebrew

The weakening of a transmitted signal, such as the distortion of a digital signal or the reduction in amplitude of an electrical signal. Attenuation is usually measured in decibels and is sometimes desirable, as when signal strength is reduced electronically, for example, by a radio volume control, to prevent overloading.

gradual loss of flux intensity through a medium; can be caused by absorption (reduction in intensity of a light wave propagating through a medium by absorption of a part of its photons), but also reflection, scattering, other physical processes
