Attenuation factor is the ratio of power lost per unit length to the twice of power transmitted.

\(a = \frac{Power~lost~per~unit~length}{2~\times ~power~transmitted}\)

Additional Information1. Power efficiency is defined as the ratio of the output power divided by the input power.

2.The quality factor, also known as the Q factor, is a measurement of a coil's output in terms of losses and resonator bandwidth. The quality factor or 'Q' of an inductor or tuned circuit is often used to give an indication of its performance in a resonator circuit.

3. Transmission efficiency is the ratio of the power received over a transmission path to the power transmitted.
