Parameters of Amplifier
Gain and Phase Measurement
The amplifier gain is defined as the
ratio of the amplifier output power
(delivered to a Z0 load) to the input
power (delivered from a Z0 source),
where (Z0) is the characteristic
impedance of the system. The
Amplifier gain is most commonly
specified as a typical or minimum
value over a specified frequency
range, while assuming that input and
output signals are in the amplifier's
linear operating range. Figure 4
shows the gain and phase
measurement result of an amplifier.

Gain Compression Measurement
The amplifier gain at a single
frequency is based on ideally linear
performance between the input
power and the output power. The
real amplifier gain is nonlinear. The
output power becomes saturated
even if the input power is increased.
The most common measurement of
amplifier compression is the 1-dB
compression point. This is defined as
the input power which results in a
1-dB decrease in amplifier gain. The
easiest way to measure the 1-dB
compression point is to directly
display normalized gain (ratio
between the reference channel and
the test channel).
Figure 5 shows the gain compression Figure 5. Gain Compression of Amplifier
