Converts between power ratios and decibel scale for audio, RF, and other applications. Logarithmic scale matches human perception.

Công thức

dBm = 10 × log10(P ÷ 0.001)
P
P value — Variable used in the calculation

Hướng dẫn từng bước

  1. 1dBm = 10 × log10(P ÷ 0.001)
  2. 2dBW = 10 × log10(P)
  3. 3Reverse: power (watts) = 10^(dBm ÷ 10) ÷ 1000
  4. 4Every 3 dB ≈ 2× power
  5. 5Every 10 dB ≈ 10× power

Ví dụ có lời giải

đầu vào
Power 1W
Kết quả
30 dBm

Lỗi thường gặp cần tránh

  • Confusing dBm (power) with dBV (voltage) with dBu (relative to 0.775V)
  • Adding dBm values instead of multiplying power

Câu hỏi thường gặp

Why use decibels instead of watts?

Logarithmic scale compresses large ranges (1W to 1MW becomes 30 dBm to 60 dBm), easier comparison.

What's typical dBm for audio and RF?

Audio -20 to +4 dBu typical; WiFi transmit +17 to +30 dBm; cellular -30 to +33 dBm.
