Fixed attenuators are placed in signal paths to reduce power transmission and are set at a fixed attenuation by symmetrical resistive networks that follows a T, L or Pi configuration. Their configuration can either be in waveguide, in surface mount or coaxial, and depending on their application, they can either be directional or bidirectional.

Applications:

Attenuators are generally used in radio, communication and transmission line applications to weaken a stronger signal.
