dBm or decibel-milliwatt is an electrical power unit in decibels (dB), referenced to 1 milliwatt (mW).
The power in decibel-milliwatts (P(dBm)) is equal to 10 times base 10 logarithm of the power in milliwatts (P(mW)): P(dBm) = 10 log10( P(mW) / 1mW )
The power in milliwatts (P(mW)) is equal to 1mW times 10 raised by the power in decibelmilliwatts (P(dBm)) divided by 10: P(mW) = 1mW 10(P(dBm) / 10)
mW W dBm dBW
For example: what is the power in dBm for power consumption of 100mW? Solution: P(dBm) = 10 log10( 100mW / 1mW ) = 20dBm
For example: what is the power in milliwatts for power consumption of 20dBm? Solution: P(mW) = 1mW 10(20dBm / 10) = 100mW
For example: what is the power in dBm for power consumption of 100W? Solution: P(dBm) = 10 log10( 100W / 1W ) + 30 = 50dBm
For example: what is the power in watts for power consumption of 40dBm? Solution: P(W) = 1W 10( (40dBm - 30) / 10) = 10W
For example: what is the power in dBm for power consumption of 20dBW? Solution: P(dBm) = 20dBW + 30 = 50dBm
For example: what is the power in watts for power consumption of 40dBm? Solution: P(dBW) = 40dBm - 30 = 10dBW
