Attenuation
is a measure of the ability of a component
to carry an RF signal efficiently.
Coaxial cable loss is the sum of the
dielectric and conductor losses and
is a function of the materials used
to manufacture the cable. Attenuation
stability with flexure will have similar
response characteristics as "Phase
vs. Flexure" describes previously,
as will the "tracking" characteristics.
Attenuation matching will not be as
dependent upon the dielectric style,
although for long lengths the insertion
loss stability vs. flexure is critical.
