Attenuation Vs Amplification
Attenuation | Amplification |
---|---|
It is the reduction in signal strength as it propagates from source to destination. | It is the method to increase the signal strength to compensate the loss of signal. |
It is a passive process which occurs naturally due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors. | It is a active process which occurs through the use of amplification devices. |
It causes signal degradation, data loss and limits range. | It results in enhanced signal quality, data reliability and improved range by overcoming attenuation. |
It happens because of interference, scattering, absorption, bending losses. | It is done using signal boosters, amplifiers, repeaters. |
Attenuation
In this article, we will be discussing about attenuation. We will also discuss about attenuation in optical fiber and networking. We will look into the various factors that causes attenuation in optical fiber and networking. We will discuss about attenuation coefficient. We also will discuss how can we measure attenuation and the methods that are available to measure. In addition to this, we will discuss how can attenuation be prevented. We will also compare attenuation with amplification and see their differences. Later in this article, we will discuss about the various advantages, disadvantages and application of attenuation.
