8 Basis of Network Measurement 

8.3 Amplifier Parameter Specifications 

249 

 

The gain refers to the ratio between the output power (to the characteristic impedance load) and input power (from 
the characteristic impedance source) of the amplifier and can be calculated by the following equation. 

 

The output power of the amplifier is proportional to the input power in the case of small signal. The small-signal 
gain is within the linear zone. With the power level of the input signal increasing, the amplifier will be saturated, 
and the output power will reach the limit, leading to gain decline. The large signal gain is within the nonlinear zone. 
See details in “

Appendix 5 Gain Compression Measurement of Amplifier

”. 

8.3.2 Gain Flatness 

The gain flatness refers to the gain change of the amplifier within the working frequency range. See details in “

8.10 

Small Signal Gain and Flatness

”. 

8.3.3 Reverse Isolation 

Reverse  isolation  is  applied  to  measure  the  transmission  between  the  output  end  and  input  end.  Similar  to  gain 
measurement,  only  the  stimulus  signal  is  applied  to  the  output  end  of  the  amplifier.  See  details  in  “

8.9  Reverse 

Isolation

”. 

8.3.4 Gain Drift Changes over Time (temperature and bias) 

The gain drift refers to the maximum gain change over time, with the other parameters unchanged. It is a function 
of  the  time.  The  gain  drift  related  to  other  parameters  can  be  measured,  such  as  the  gain  deviation  over  the 
temperature, humidity and bias voltage. 

8.3.5 Linear Phase Deviation 

Refer to the deviation of linear shifts. Ideally, the phase shift of the amplifier is a linear function of the frequency. 
See details in “

8.8 Linear Phase Deviation

”. 

8.3.6 Group Delay 

The group delay refers to the transition time of the signal through the amplifier. It is a function of the frequency. 
The ideal linear phase shift has a constant change rate over the frequency. In this case, the group delay is a constant. 
In the actual measurement, the group delay is calculated by the following equation: 

 

See details in “

8.5 Group Delay

”. 

8.3.7 Return Loss (standing wave ratio, ρ) 

The  return  loss  refers  to  the  reflection  matching  of  the  amplifier  relative  to  the  system  impedance  Z0  in 
measurement of the input or output port. It can be calculated by the following equation:
