The conversion gain, G, is one of the standard values usually measured and

quoted to indicate the performance of a heterodyne or superheterodyne

receiver system. G is called a 'gain' because it is a ratio of an output power

to an input power. In most practical cases the actual output power is smaller

than the input, so it would be more honest to call it a loss Despite this, the

convention is to call it a gain, even if it is a gain of -10dB's, the output is ten

times smaller than the input. It is called a 'conversion' gain because it indicates

the relative level of an output which has been converted to a frequency which

differs from that of the input.

What is a 1033?

The basis of property purchased as the result of an involuntary conversion on which gain is not recognized is the cost of the replacement property less the amount of gain not recognized on the conversion. If qualifying replacement property is received as the result of an involuntary conversion, the replacement property's basis is the same as the basis of the involuntarily converted property decreased by any loss recognized on the conversion and any money received and not spent on qualifying replacement property. The basis is increased by any gain recognized on the conversion and any cost of acquiring the replacement property (Code Sec. 1033 (b) ¶ 29,640, ¶ 29,644).
