A novel interpretation of transducer power gain ( G T ) is presented by optical analogy. By employing scattering parameters of the input/output matching network and the transistor, we have developed a simple method to derive G T . In addition to simplicity, our theory also has the advantage of giving the physical meaning for each term of the formula of G T . © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
