Description
Ladder type stepped attenuator
This is where 2 resistor and 2 switch contacts are used per step, making up a unique combination of resistors per step that add up to the impedance of the stepped attenuator you use. Effectively a voltage divider network.
The total series resistance of each two resistor set is equal, so the signal source always sees the same impedance.
