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:
“Many people operate under the assumption that since parenting is a natural adult function, we should instinctively know how to do it—and do it well. The truth is, effective parenting requires study and practice like any other skilled profession. Who would even consider turning an untrained surgeon loose in an operating room? Yet we “operate” on our children every day.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
“The individual protests against the world, but he doesn’t get beyond protest, he is just a single protester. When he wants to be more than that, he has to counter power with power, he has to oppose the system with another system.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
—Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Mark, 8:36.
