It is worth noticing that S0 only <strong>de</strong>pends on the characteristics of the network and its<br />

signal source, and of the impedance match at its input. In particular, S0 is in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt of the<br />

load of the network.<br />

A.1.b Available Gain<br />

The available power gain is <strong>de</strong>fined [A.1] by the following formula, which is<br />

applicable to both active and passive <strong>de</strong>vices:<br />

S<br />

G<br />

S<br />

O = (A.3)<br />

I<br />

It is worth noticing that G is in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt of impedance match at the output, but is<br />

<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt on impedance match at the input. As a consequence, the available gain is<br />

maximum when the source is matched to the input.<br />
