When r.f. signals are (to be) attenuated, it is essential that the requisite
network retains correct matching to the relevant (coaxial)
cable(s). If this is not so, reflected signal waves will ensue along
the cable(s), which may attenuate or magnify the forward signal
waves. In other words, there will be points along the cable(s) where
the resulting signal is much smaller than the original and others
where the resulting signal is much larger.
