A power supply is not a part of the filter circuit,
so that it can be presented as a four-terminal diagram

GAIN
Response of a network G(j) varies with frequency by orders of magnitude
It is reasonable to characterise it in logarithmic scale
gain log10 G ( )
Measurement unit - bel [B]
Unit which is practically used - decibel =bel/10 [dB]
gain 10 log10 G( )
For amplitudes, gain is defined as gain = 20 log10 G
Amplification: gain > 0
10 times larger: 20 dB
100 times larger: 40 dB
gain = 20 log10
