primary gain definition of primary gain in the Free Online Encyclopedia.

gain

The amount of increase that an amplifier provides on the output side of the circuit.

gain

Electronics the ratio of the output signal of an amplifier to the input signal, usually measured in decibels

gain [gān]

(electronics)

The increase in signal power that is produced by an amplifier; usually given as the ratio of output to input voltage, current, or power, expressed in decibels. Also known as transmission gain.

(electromagnetism)

antenna gain

(engineering)

A cavity in a piece of wood prepared by notching or mortising so that a hinge or other hardware or another piece of wood can be placed on the cavity.

Gain

An increase in signal power or voltage produced by an amplifier in transmitting a signal from one point to another. The amount of gain is usually expressed in decibels above a reference level. See Amplifier

Antenna gain is a measure of the effectiveness of a directional antenna as compared to a nondirectional antenna. See Antenna (electromagnetism)
