Hi All,

Here is a puzzle. I have a signal source of average power less than 10 mW and I want to put three attenuators on the output, 20 dB, 6 dB and 3 dB.  All are two Watt attenuators. What order should I put them on to minimize the chance of burning some of them out? This is a situation I encounter during my circuit troubleshooting.

Doug
