The phrase "attenuation function" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to signal processing, telecommunications, or any field where the reduction of signal strength is discussed.
Example: "The attenuation function of the material determines how much signal loss occurs as it passes through."
Alternatives: "signal reduction function" or "diminution function".
The empirical anelastic attenuation function can be modeled using the following functional form (equation (13) in Malagnini et al., 2000): (4)where r is the hypocentral distance.
Finally, the attenuation function αra is combined with the attenuation function αrs by the coefficient K.
Second, the attenuation function αra is estimated by the aperture distribution, and the attenuation function αrs is determined by the slot radiation.

Penetration depth in the matrix is a linear attenuation function of the horizontal distance from the source.
According to this model, elastic bending curvature is got by convoluting bending moment interaction with an attenuation function.
Different attenuation functions (consistent with those used to calculate the U.S. and Canadian maps) were used as well.
The diffusion of water into PDTFI solution in acetone was measured by PGSE-NMR, showing the expected linear attenuation functions.
Examples for such components are seismic source boundaries, rupture geometry, seismic activity rate, focal depth and the choice of attenuation functions.
These approaches can be generalized to energy weighted measurements, which we prove can form a sufficient statistic for spectral X-ray imaging if the weights used, which we term μ-weights, are basis attenuation functions that can also be used for material decomposition.
Figure 12 Attenuation functions of Lg wave along profiles A and B. Comparison of the attenuation functions of the maximum amplitude of the Lg wave of 1 Hz for the synthetic seismogram derived from the FDM simulation as a function of distance from the hypocenter along profile A (blue circles) and along profile B (red circles).
