There are a few terms that need to be understood. [dBm,dBd,dBi and dB] For antennas, a common reference unit is the dBi, which states the gain of an antenna as referenced to an ISOTROPIC source. An Isotropic source is the perfect omnidirectional radiator, a true "Point Source", and does not exist in nature. Consider it a source which is the center of the sphere and the energy is coming equally out of it as a sphere. Now in reality nothing like that exists. It's also 2.41 dB BIGGER than the next common unit of antenna gain, the dBd, When you convert that to a real antenna.
So a simple dipole antenna has a gain of 2.41dBi, and a gain of 0dBd, since we're comparing it to itself.
Now lets talk about dBm, dBm is not is reference to anything else but the used as an actual gain ( say amplifiers ) , P(dBm)=10*LOG(1000*Power in milliwatts,10), an amp with an output of 30dBm puts out 1 Watt. It is not in refernce to two power level but directly correlating the gain of a device.
Now when you talk about a dB it is a relative measure of two different power levels. 10log (p1/p2, 10).

What is the difference between the cuisinart CCM-16SA and the dbm 8?
Cuisinart customer service [1-800-726-0190] said there are NO difference, and their DBM-8 parts are 100% interchangable with the Sams Club CCM-16SA. Ive had my CCM for about 10 years, and have had to replace the "bean chamber" . The Sams unit only has 3 small screws holding the milling plate to the chamber, which will eventually come loose from their plastic threads...simply replace the entir chamber..don't try to repair the threads, as you may cause more problems downstream
Define the term dBm?
dBm means "decibels relative to 1 mW". B is the symbol for the unit bel, and decibel is 1/10th of a bel. Bels are used to measure ratios between two measurements, not an absolute measurement by themselves. In this case you're measuring relative to 1 mW. So, for instance, if a device is producing 100 mW, this will be 100 times your reference of 1 mW. "100 times" the power is equal to 20 decibels, so this would be 20 dBm.

How do you convert dBi to dBm?
Well, the question your asking is basically impossible. It's like asking to convert a gallon of water into cans of pop. It is possible to convert the gallon of water into cans of water not soda. So you can convert dBm to watts, not dBi.

What is the Difference between dband dbm?
dBm is defined as power ratio in decibel (dB) referenced to one milliwatt (mW). It is an abbreviation for dB with respect to 1 mW and the "m" in dBm stands for milliwatt. dBm is different from dB. dBm represents absolute power, whereas in audio engineering the decibel is usually a voltage ratio of two values and is used then to represent gain or attenuation of an audio amplifier, or an audio damping pad.
What is the full form of DBI?
dBi stands for decibel isotropic, which is a logarithmic unit used to express the ratio between two values of a physical quantity, often power or intensity. DBI can also mean: Davies-Bouldin Index Diazepam binding inhibitor Perl DBI, a database interface for Perl
What is fading margin?
Thermal fade margin TFM in db is the difference between the normal received signal RSL at the input of microwave receiver expressed in dbm and the receiver's threshold ( given by the manufacturer) expressed in dbm TFM = RSL - TH

What is the difference between DB and DBMS?
dBm us almost exactly the same as dB. The only difference is that there is a reference of 1 Watt = 0 dB, and 1 mW = 0 dBm. Sorry but that is incorrect. db is a ratio and not an absolute value, by it self it means nothing. you got the dbm part right, 1 mW = 0 dbm and it is an absolute value.
What is DBI in?
DBI refers to a decibil level, which is used to measure the power and intensity of sound waves.
How do you convert dB to DBi?
You cannot convert DBi to DB because they are not related. DBi is only for decibels in an isotropic radiator, while DB is only for decibels in a dipole antenna.
How do you convert 10W to dBm?
dBm us almost exactly the same as dB. The only difference is that there is a reference of 1 Watt = 0 dB, and 1 mW = 0 dBm. dBm is defined as power ratio in decibel (dB) referenced to one milliwatt (mW). It is an abbreviation for dB with respect to 1 mW and the "m" in dBm stands for milliwatt. dBm is different from dB. dBm represents absolute power, whereas in audio engineering the decibel is usually a voltage ratio of two values and is used then to represent gain or attenuation of an audio amplifier, or an audio damping pad. PdBm = 10*log10(1000*10W) = 40dBm
