Just remember that you need to specify power or voltage gain. Most low
frequency systems up into HF specify gain in voltage. Above that all gains
are specified in power gain terms. The difference is a multiplier of 2 in
dB (power is proportional to voltage squared - i.e. raised to the 2nd
power). The formula is then:

db=20*log(G)
