    Padáň (Hungarian: Padány, Hungarian pronunciation:[ˈpɒdaːɲ]) is a village and municipality in the Dunajská Streda District in the Trnava Region of south-west Slovakia.

    History

    The village was first recorded in 1254 as Padan, an old Pecheneg settlement. On the territory of the village, there used be Petény village as well, which was mentioned in 1298 as the appurtenance of Pressburg Castle. Until the end of World War I, it was part of Hungary and fell within the Dunaszerdahely district of Pozsony County. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovakian troops occupied the area. After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia. In November 1938, the First Vienna Award granted the area to Hungary and it was held by Hungary until 1945. After Soviet occupation in 1945, Czechoslovakian administration returned and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia in 1947.

    Demography

    In 1910, the village had 637, for the most part, Hungarian inhabitants. At the 2001 Census the recorded population of the village was 863 while an end-2008 estimate by the Statistical Office had the villages's population as 873. As of 2001, 94,44 per cent of its population was Hungarian while 5,21 per cent was Slovakian. 50% of the inhabitants profess Protestantism, while adherents of Roman Catholicism number 41,95% of the total population.

    Π pad

    The Π pad (pi pad) is a specific type of attenuator circuit in electronics whereby the topology of the circuit is formed in the shape of the Greek letter "Π".

    Attenuators are used in electronics to reduce the level of a signal. They are also referred to as pads due to their effect of padding down a signal by analogy with acoustics. Attenuators have a flat frequency response attenuating all frequencies equally in the band they are intended to operate. The attenuator has the opposite task of an amplifier. The topology of an attenuator circuit will usually follow one of the simple filter sections. However, there is no need for more complex circuitry, as there is with filters, due to the simplicity of the frequency response required.

    Circuits are required to be balanced or unbalanced depending on the geometry of the transmission lines they are to be used with. For radio frequency applications, the format is often unbalanced, such as coaxial. For audio and telecommunications, balanced circuits are usually required, such as with the twisted pair format. The Π pad is intrinsically an unbalanced circuit. However, it can be converted to a balanced circuit by placing half the series resistance in the return path. Such a circuit is called a box section because the circuit is formed in the shape of a box.
