Question

Attenuation, distortion, and noise contribute to transmission impairment. What is the solution, or how can these causes be improved?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Attenuation:-

The loss of signal power in networking cables or connections is known as attenuation.
This is frequently measured in decibels (dB) or voltage and can happen for a number of reasons.
Signals may become distorted or unintelligible as a result.

Distortion:-

In acoustics and electronics, distortion refers to any modification of a signal that changes the fundamental waveform or the relationship between different frequency components; it is typically a signal degradation.
Normal definitions of distortion do not include straight amplification or attenuation without a change to the waveform.

Noise:-

In its most basic form, signal noise refers to any unwanted interference that weakens a communication signal.
Both analog and digital transmissions can be affected by signal noise, but it takes far more noise to damage a digital signal.
