Attenuator

Preface

This calculator helps design a simple T-section or Pi-network attenuator

T-Section

The following diagram illustrates the key measurements.

T-section Diagram

To compute resistors

  1. Enter network impedance in Ohms.
  2. Enter the attenuation in dB.

PI-Network

The following diagram illustrates the key measurements.

Pi-network Diagram

To compute resistors

  1. Enter network impedance in Ohms.
  2. Enter the attenuation in dB.
