Forest of Dean District Council officers said the development was designed with noise attenuation in mind, in that the buildings themselves provide the noise attenuation and act as noise buffer, which led to the creation of a linear, two storey scheme.
Alternatively, a stopband corner frequency may be specified as a point where a transition band and a stopband meet: a frequency for which the attenuation is larger than the required stopband attenuation, which for example may be 30 dB or 100 dB.
Depending on application, the required attenuation within the stopband may typically be a value between 20 and 120 dB higher than the nominal passband attenuation, which often is 0 dB.
Distortion and attenuation For demodulation, the demodulation oscillator's frequency and phase must be exactly the same as modulation oscillator's, otherwise, distortion and/or attenuation will occur.
For this reason, glass fiber (which has a low attenuation) is used for long-distance fiber optic cables; plastic fiber has a higher attenuation and, hence, shorter range.
However, at 1.5 GHz, a 20 dB attenuation was observed, with no significant attenuation beyond 10 dB anywhere else. citation At some microwave wavelengths, the skin depth is less than the thickness of even the thinnest foil.
In engineering, attenuation is usually measured in units of decibels per unit length of medium (dB/cm, dB/km, etc.) and is represented by the attenuation coefficient of the medium in question.
Path loss (or path attenuation) is the reduction in power density ( attenuation ) of an electromagnetic wave as it propagates through space.
Relationship with attenuation Attenuance Optical depth measures the attenuation of the transmitted radiant power in a material.
In their tests, they were aiming for a 1.8% attenuation of the Sun’s heat—equal to about six days per year of “an obscured Sun,” according to the study.
So the idea that there would be some attenuation of the correlation of Europeans and forms of democratic political institutions fits with our commonsense view of of the world.

The premises' structure (walls, ductwork, electrical cabling, roofing) can cause all sorts of wireless communications problems including attenuation, reflections, and interference that collectively weaken and distort signals.
Above the cutoff frequency, attenuation increases rapidly.
Accounting for attenuation effects in ultrasound is important because a reduced signal amplitude can affect the quality of the image produced.
