Why do the S21 data from the S-parameters and the values in the 'Control Voltage Range vs. Gain' graph differ significantly for a specific control voltage and frequency?

Question

Accepted Answer

The format for the s-parameter data is (linear) magnitude and angle, as indicated in the header '# MHz S MA R 50'. To convert the s-parameter data to dB, use the equation Gain(dB) = 20log10((linear gain). For example, a linear gain of 11 corresponds to approximately 20 dB when converted using this equation.
