Method for evaluating signal attenuation by comparing a measured attenuation against an ideal attenuation

摘要

A method for evaluating signal attenuation of an impedance member includes setting at least one ideal attenuation of an ideal impedance member, setting at least one attenuation range for the at least one ideal attenuation, measuring at least one first test attenuation at a first test signal frequency of the subject impedance member, measuring at least one second test attenuation at a second test signal frequency of the subject impedance member, comparing the at least one first test attenuation and the at least one second test attenuation with the at least one attenuation range for the at least one ideal attenuation, determining whether the at least one first test attenuation and the at least one second test attenuation fall within the at least one attenuation range and performing a troubleshooting function on the subject impedance member if the at least one first test attenuation or the at least one second test attenuation fall outside the at least one attenuation range.
