Power gain definitions are fundamental parameters in the design of FET small‐signal amplifiers. In this Letter, a simple and direct method to compute the various gain definitions of FET up to 60 GHz is demonstrated. A set of simple equations to compute the S parameters from the FET complete π model are used. The power gain definitions are calculated from the S‐parameter modules derived from these equations. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
