Disadvantages of Attenuation
- The biggest disadvantage of attenuation is loss of signal as this leads to poor signal quality and loss of data.
- Attenuation leads to reduction in distance over which signal can be transmitted. This posses as a challenge for long range communication
- Increase in operational cost as additional equipment like amplifiers, repeaters or signal boosters are required to compensate the signal loss.
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.
