The extent of the insertion is variable, and the attenuation can be made approximately linear with the insertion by properly shaping the resistance card. The attenuation can be up to 20 decibels.<ref>Hewlett Packard [https://nscainc.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/A_394A.pdf Datasheet for HP-Series 375 attenuators]</ref> == References ==
