conversion loss (of a mixer, mixer diode, or harmonic generator) (LC)

The ratio of available input power at a single frequency to the available signal-output power, not including intrinsic mixer noise or power converted from other than the signal-input frequency.

NOTE Delivered signal-output power may be used, in which case the loss is referred to as "conversion insertion loss".
