5.2.1 RF Input Level

The individual amplifier maximum gain and power rating determines the RF input level required to reach the full rated output power of
the HPOD.
For example: If the test data of an SSPA rated for 250W (54 dBm) indicated a gain of 75 dB, then a signal of 54dBm – 75 dB = -21 dBm
would approximately give the rated output power.
