signal transmission line which has a source impedance of 75Ω is to be connected to a signal strength meter of impedance 50Ω which has a maximum display of 18dB. Calculate the values of resistors required in an L-pad attenuator circuit to operate the meter at maximum power (towards small impedance). And also determine minimum insertion loss and minimum attenuation in dB.
