Power Gain - Operating Power Gain

Operating Power Gain

The operating power gain of a two-port network, GP, is defined as:

where

  • Pload is the maximum time averaged power delivered to the load, where the maximization is over the load impedance, i.e., we desire the load impedance which maximizes the time averaged power delivered to the load.
  • Pinput is the time averaged power entering the network

If the time averaged input power depends on the load impedance, one must take the maximum of the ratio--not just the maximum of the numerator.

Famous quotes containing the words operating, power and/or gain:

    I love meetings with suits. I live for meetings with suits. I love them because I know they had a really boring week and I walk in there with my orange velvet leggings and drop popcorn in my cleavage and then fish it out and eat it. I like that. I know I’m entertaining them and I know that they know. Obviously, the best meetings are with suits that are intelligent, because then things are operating on a whole other level.
    Madonna [Madonna Louise Ciccione] (b. 1959)

    I have seen in this revolution a circular motion of the sovereign power through two usurpers, father and son, to the late King to this his son. For ... it moved from King Charles I to the Long Parliament; from thence to the Rump; from the Rump to Oliver Cromwell; and then back again from Richard Cromwell to the Rump; then to the Long Parliament; and thence to King Charles, where long may it remain.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    Give way to your opponent; thus will you gain the crown of victory.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
