DATA ANALYSIS

As I conducted this activity entitled “Attenuation and Gain”, I was able to recognize in table 1 that the
attenuation simulated data and attenuation computed values were almost equal that means that the given
potentiometer were accurate from the simulated circuit. Based from my observations, potentiometer is just
a variable resistor with an adjustable terminal. As the value of potentiometer increases, the attenuation
also increases or their relationship were simple directly proportional with each other. The purpose of
potentiometer is to balance the potential difference by passing a current through a known variable
resistance. Attenuation can be obtained by dividing the output voltage to input voltage. Thus, attenuation
creates a lower signal level in the circuit.

In table 2, I have found out that based from the obtained data’s, gain simulated were also almost equal to
the gain computed. Hence, as the R2 decreases the output voltage and gain increases. Therefore, the
relationship between gain and attenuation are opposite. The word gain implies profit signal or the level of
signal changes while for attenuation makes a signal level lower or simple creates a loss signal. To make it
short, while conducting this activity I have come up to an idea that attenuation is directly proportional to
resistor while it is inversely proportional to gain.

CONCLUSION
I therefore conclude that gain means amplification. if an output of the signal has greater amplitude than
the output signal. Thus, the circuit has gain while attenuation refers to as loss. If the output signal has less
in amplitude than input signal then the circuit has loss. Both attenuation and gain can be obtained by
dividing the output voltage to the input voltage.

 RECOMMENDATION
I think multisim is the easiest and best way to simulate a circuit through the use of
computer software. I have found out that multisim gives the user an accurate result
instead of performing it in actual but there is still some differences, so with this I
recommend this to my co students to use multisim as a second option when they are
conducting their experiment, they can use multisim to check for any errors occurs in
their actual performance circuit.
