Gain Bandwidth Product: Voltage & dB Gain Explained

AI Thread Summary
Gain Bandwidth Product (GBWP) is calculated using voltage gain (Vo/Vi) multiplied by bandwidth in MHz. It is crucial to note that dB values should not be multiplied or divided; only addition and subtraction are valid operations for dB quantities. The GBWP is expressed in Hz, which means the gain must be unitless (Volt/Volt). Understanding these principles is essential for accurate calculations in electronics. This clarification helps avoid common misconceptions in gain and bandwidth analysis.

If anyone know pls tell me in Gain bandwidth product, gain in what manner (dB or voltage gain (Vo/Vi)) ?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
It is in voltage gain (Vo/Vi) * bandwidth in MHz.
 
thanks lot
 
Sorry for being intrude, but it is worth while to know that the dB values never should be multiplied or divided. The only allowable operation on dB quantities are addition and subtraction.
Also since the GBWP units is Hz, so the Gain should be unitless (Volt/Volt).
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
