Difference between Attenuation and Decibel

Attenuation vs. Decibel

In physics, attenuation or, in some contexts, extinction is the gradual loss of flux intensity through a medium. The decibel (symbol: dB) is a unit of measurement used to express the ratio of one value of a physical property to another on a logarithmic scale.

Similarities between Attenuation and Decibel

Attenuation and Decibel have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Attenuator (electronics), Decibel, Electrical impedance, Optical fiber, Path loss, Sound power, Telecommunication.

Attenuator (electronics)

An attenuator is an electronic device that reduces the power of a signal without appreciably distorting its waveform.

Electrical impedance

Electrical impedance is the measure of the opposition that a circuit presents to a current when a voltage is applied.

Optical fiber

An optical fiber or optical fibre is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair.

Path loss

Path loss (or path attenuation) is the reduction in power density (attenuation) of an electromagnetic wave as it propagates through space.

Sound power

Sound power or acoustic power is the rate at which sound energy is emitted, reflected, transmitted or received, per unit time.

Telecommunication

Telecommunication is the transmission of signs, signals, messages, words, writings, images and sounds or information of any nature by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic systems.

The list above answers the following questions

Attenuation and Decibel Comparison

Attenuation has 104 relations, while Decibel has 146. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 2.80% = 7 / (104 + 146).
