Not so. Plate Dissipation is quite correct since the rest of the power
goes into Antenna/Load Dissipation, thus:
Pin = Plate Dissipation + Load Dissipation
(assuming we ignore other trivial things like any power used to generate
xrays,
circulating currents in the walls of the enclosure, light, ionisation, and
even sound).
