(2) Attenuation distortion
“Attenuation distortion” is the distortion that occurs as a result of inconsis-
tent transmission loss in the required frequency band.
Attenuation distortion occurs between EOs (end offices) and on non-
loaded subscriber lines. Humps may occur in the attenuation characteris-
tics of the subscriber line due to impedance mismatching.
Attenuation distortion occurs does not cause special problems in telephone
conversations. However, in the case of G3 facsimile transmission, image
signals can no longer be received properly and errors occur frequently if
the distortion is significant.
