What causes gain reduction factor?

The gain degradation factor arises due to the presence of parasitic capacitances and inductances in the amplifier circuit, which can cause the amplifier's response to deviate from its ideal behavior as the frequency of the input signal changes. As the input signal frequency moves away from the design center frequency, the parasitic components can cause the gain to decrease, resulting in the gain degradation factor.

How to Calculate Gain-Degradation Factor?

Gain-Degradation Factor calculator uses Gain Degradation Factor = (Signal Frequency/Output Frequency)*Power Gain for Up-Converter to calculate the Gain Degradation Factor, The Gain-Degradation Factor formula is defined as the reduction in gain that occurs when an amplifier is operated away from its design center frequency. The gain degradation factor is a measure of the change in gain relative to the gain at the design frequency, and it is typically expressed in decibels (dB). Gain Degradation Factor is denoted by GDF symbol.
