//Problem 41.16: Five identical attenuator sections are connected in cascade. The overall attenuation is 70 dB and the voltage input to the first section is 20 mV. Determine (a) the attenuation of eac individual attenuation section, (b) the voltage output of the fina stage, and (c) the voltage output of the third stage. //initializing the variables: attnO = 70; // in dB n = 5; // numbers of identical atteneurs V1 = 0.02; // in Volts //calculation: //attenuation of each section attn = attnO/n //output of the final stage Vo = V1/(10^(attnO/20)) //voltage output of the third stage V3 = V1/(10^(3*attn/20)) printf("\n\n Result \n\n") printf("\n attenuation of each section = %.0f dB ",attn) printf("\n output of the final stage is %.2E V ",Vo) printf("\n voltage output of the third stage is %.2E V ",V3)
