Ground conductivity, terrain roughness and the dielectric constant all affect the signal attenuation.

"We keep losing the transportee through signal attenuation," Nog said, shaking his head.

This causes high signal attenuation which drastically reduces the ability of the mud to transmit pulsed data.

Typically, these experiments are carried out with sinusoidal excitation signals and the experimental observation of signal attenuation.

Without this signal attenuation, the receiver would routinely saturate due to the strong signals.

Similarly to molecular diffusion, the effect of pseudodiffusion on the signal attenuation depends on the b value.

In a simple model, this signal attenuation, S/So, can be written as :

For most sensing applications, the laser wavelength must also be within one of the atmospheric window to avoid signal attenuation.

Longer distances and higher frequencies using this method meant more signal attenuation.

In a wireless network, an expensive user is typically a mobile station at far distance from the base station, exposed to high signal attenuation.
