Attenuator Tee v1.0.0

Design a Tee-topology resistive attenuator pad. Given a desired attenuation in dB and characteristic impedance (default 50 ohm), computes the three resistor values for a symmetrical T-pad network. The Tee attenuator uses two series resistors (R1, R3) and one shunt resistor (R2). Commonly used in RF signal chains to reduce signal level while maintaining impedance match. Compare with attenuator_pi for Pi-pad topology.
