The difference between amplifier gain and antenna gain
Amplifier and antenna gain may sound the same, and both may be expressed in decibels, but they actually are measures of two different things. In an amplifier, gain is simply the ratio of the output divided by the input. Gain has no units as it is a ratio. However, amplifier gain is often expressed in […]
