Power gain formula

Power gain (dB) = 10×log (RF output power / RF input power).

What is power gain of an amplifier?

In electronics, gain is a measure of the ability of a two-port circuit (often an amplifier) to increase the power or amplitude of a signal from the input to the output port by adding energy converted from some power supply to the signal. ... It is often expressed using the logarithmic decibel (dB) units ("dB gain").

How do you calculate the power gain of an amplifier?

Amplifier gain is simply the ratio of the output divided-by the input. Gain has no units as its a ratio, but in Electronics it is commonly given the symbol “A”, for Amplification. Then the gain of an amplifier is simply calculated as the “output signal divided by the input signal”.

What is voltage gain and power gain?

It can also be said the power gain is the product of voltage gain and current gain. Power gain is a ratio between two quantities and hence is dimensionless. In CE transistors, the current gain is defined as the ratio of change in collector current and change in base current.

Is power gain the same as voltage gain?

Power gain is similar to voltage gain; it is the ratio of output power to input power and can also be represented in the log domain. For example, if input power is 0 dB and output power is 10 dB, the dB domain's power gain is 10 dB.
