Abstract
This invention concerns a signal attenuator which can be used between an antenna and a television receiver or VHF/UHF radio, so as to appropriately attenuate VHF or UHF signals applied thereto. The signal attenuator comprises, in a shielding metal enclosure, an insulator substrate having an input electrode, an output electrode and a pair of ground electrodes, the electrodes being arranged symmetrical to each other with respect to a point on the substrate. The electrodes are arranged to define narrow gaps between the ground electrodes and the input and output electrodes. A set of flat shaped resistors is directly connected between the electrodes in symmetrical relationship with respect to the point on the substrate.
