2. Attenuator (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuator_(electronics)

   An attenuator is a passive broadband electronic device that reduces the power of a signal without appreciably distorting its waveform. An attenuator is effectively the opposite of an amplifier, though the two work by different methods. While an amplifier provides gain, an attenuator provides loss, or gain less than unity. An attenuator is often ...

3. Noise-figure meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-figure_meter

   Some commercial microwave noise generators use avalanche diodes to create a large excess noise figure that can be turned off and on. The impedance of the diode is different during the two states, so an output attenuator is used. The attenuator reduces the noise source output, but it minimizes mismatch loss. (Swain & Cox 1983, p. 26).

4. T pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_pad

   A T-pad attenuator formed from two symmetrical L sections. Because of the symmetry, R 1 = R 3 in this case. For an attenuator, Z and Y are simple resistors and γ becomes the image parameter attenuation (that is, the attenuation when terminated with the image impedances) in nepers. A T pad can be viewed as being two L sections back-to-back as ...

   A Π-pad attenuator formed from two symmetrical L sections. Because of the symmetry, R 1 = R 3 in this case. For an attenuator, Z and Y are simple resistors and γ becomes the image parameter attenuation (that is, the attenuation when terminated with the image impedances) in nepers.

   Attenuator (electronics), an electronic device that reduces the amplitude of an electronic signal. Optical attenuator, an electronic device that reduces the amplitude of an optical signal. Attenuator (genetics), a specific regulatory sequence transcribed into RNA. Impact attenuator, used on highways as a crumple zone in case of a car crash.

7. Agilent Technologies - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agilent_Technologies

   Agilent Technologies, Inc. is an American global company headquartered in Santa Clara, California, that provides instruments, software, services, and consumables for laboratories. Agilent was established in 1999 as a spin-off from Hewlett-Packard. The resulting IPO of Agilent stock was the largest in the history of Silicon Valley at the time.
