Large-Signal Voltage amplification Gain Condition (A_V)

Problem:
What is meant by the large-signal voltage amplification or gain condition (A_V)?

Solution:
The large-signal voltage amplification or gain condition, A_V is defined as the ratio of change in output voltage to the change in voltage across the input terminals that is set up for a test of parameters such as Z_O or THD+N. It is expressed either unitless or in dB.
