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:
“Just what is the civil law? What neither influence can affect, nor power break, nor money corrupt: were it to be suppressed or even merely ignored or inadequately observed, no one would feel safe about anything, whether his own possessions, the inheritance he expects from his father, or the bequests he makes to his children.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“Whether a man hides his bad qualities and vices or confesses them openly, his vanity wants to gain an advantage by it in both cases: just note how subtly he distinguishes between those he will hide his bad qualities from and those he will face honestly and candidly.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
