Gain Compression Vi Vo dVo dVi Vi Vo dVo dVi The large signal input/output relation can display gain compression or expansion. Physically, most amplifier experience gain compression for large signals. The small-signal gain is related to the slope at a given point. For the graph on the left, the gain decreases for increasing amplitude.
