[In tabulating a frequency-response measurement, inspection] of the attenuator loss indicates that at frequencies above 6000 Hz, the gain of the amplifier must fall off, because less attenuator loss is required to maintain a constant level at the receive meter. At the low frequencies, the attenuator gain must rise... Keeping the above facts in mind, the attenuator loss may now be converted to a reference frequency to show the rise and fall of the frequency characteristic above and below the reference frequency. 3, record 1, English, - reference%20frequency
