Attenuator

An attenuator isan electronic device that reduces the power of a signal without appreciably distorting its waveformAn attenuatoris effectively the opposite of an amplifier, though the two work by different methods.While an amplifier provides gain, anattenuator provides loss, or gain less than 1.

What is DC Block?

DC Blocks are components that prevent the flow of DC signals into systems while allowing higher frequency RF signals to pass through.
DC Blocks are placed within a system to stop any signal with a frequency of Zero Hz (DC) from interfering with sensitive RF components.
The DC block can be thought of as a high-pass filter allowing only the RF frequencies to pass through and are usually designed by placing capacitors in series with a transmission line.
