| Definition: | the ratio, generally expressed in decibels, of the apparent power delivered to a specified load after insertion of a given two port device between the source and the load, to the apparent power that the same source would deliver to a load with zero reflection factor at its interface with the source
NOTE – If the ratio defining the composite gain is less than one, its decibel value is negative, and its converse or its opposite value in decibels called composite loss may be used.
