insertion loss

The amount of loss attributed to a particular device being used in (inserted into) the system. For example, a circuit added to filter out unwanted frequencies may reduce the output current by some amount. See injection loss.

insertion loss [in′sər·shən ‚lȯs]

(electronics)

The loss in load power due to the insertion of a component or device at some point in a transmission system; generally expressed as the ratio in decibels of the power received at the load before insertion of the apparatus, to the power received at the load after insertion.
