How Attenuation can be Prevented?
- The most common way to prevent attenuation is used of repeaters which will regenerate the signal if the signal received is weak hence reducing attenuation.
- The cables should be checked during manufacturing and installations to prevent bending and imperfections so that losses can be minimized.
- Another way of reducing attenuation is amplification. Amplification is more effective than repeaters because it only increases the amplitude or strength of signal when the received signal is weak.
- Use of high quality fiber optics with better design to have low attenuation coefficient and reduce intrinsic losses.
- Use of error correcting codes so as to maintain data reliability
- Communication should be done over a particular frequency so as to reduce electromagnetic interference.
When we prevent attenuation we have certain advantages. The first advantage is that less power is consumed as power can be saved when signal is transmitted with out any obstacle thus reducing operational costs. Also it will provide higher data integrity and reliability as chances of wrong data transmission will be reduced.
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.
