3. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
attenuation

    The progressive reduction in amplitude of a
   signal as it travels farther from the point of origin.

   For example, an electric signal's amplitude reduces with
   distance due to electrical impedance.  Attenuation is
   usually measured in decibels [per metre?].

   Attenuation does not imply appreciable modification of the
   shape of the waveform (distortion), though as the signal
   amplitude falls the signal-to-noise ratio will also fall
   unless the channel itself is noise free or the signal is
   amplified at some intermediate point(s) along the channel.
