The fall in gain of a device due to non-linearities is called: Correct Answer Gain compression

The fall in gain of a device due to non-linearities is called gain compression. Physically, this is usually due to fact that the instantaneous output voltage of an amplifier is limited by the power supply voltage used to bias the active device.
