Abstract:
A signal conditioning device, and method thereof, that can be used to maintain an amount of signal RF level adjustment, which is applied to an input, independently of the availability of the power supplied to the device. In one embodiment, the signal condition device comprises an attenuating circuit, which can have a variable attenuator and a non-volatile attenuator. The variable attenuator is configured to provide a primary amount of signal RF level adjustment in a power-on state, and the non-volatile attenuator is configured to store as a secondary amount the primary amount of the signal RF level adjustment. The non-volatile attenuator is likewise configured so that the secondary amount can be applied when the signal conditioning device enters into a power-off state so as to modify the RF level of the input in order to maintain a relative strength of the transmission at a remote device.
