Attenuation

Step-by-step explanation:

The term for this problem is known as attenuation. Attenuation is specifically a type of problem which occurs during the propagation or rather let's say transmission of signals.

It is a very important type of propagation problem. In fact, it is the most considered type of problem in propagation. Measurement of attenuation is carried out based on how strong the original signal is. The original signal refers to the signal at the start of propagation.

Why is it important?

It is important because it affects the ability of the receiver to recognize transmitted signal. If the propagated or transmitted signal continues to attenuate, it will be difficult for the receiver to recognize that signal in question.
