Power Gain - Available Power Gain

Available Power Gain

The available power gain of a two-port network, GA, is defined as:

where

  • Pload,max is the maximum available average power at the load
  • Psource,max is the maximum power available from the source

Similarly Pload,max may only obtained when the load impedance is the complex conjugate of the output impedance of the network.

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or gain:

    The distinction, which we often make betwixt power and the exercise of it, is equally without foundation.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    “What have I gained?”
    “Experience,” said Holmes, laughing. “Indirectly it may be of value, you know; you have only to put it into words to gain the reputation of being excellent company for the remainder of your existence.”
