3dB of gain rolloff is a linear reduction of gain by a factor of 2. That makes it a good reference point.
AN amplifier will have half of its voltage output at that point
The bandwidth of a resonant circuit is defined as the distance between the two -3dB rolloff points in the response curve.
"3 dB" is a nickname for "1/2 power". "1/2 power" in dB = 10 log(1/2) = 10 (-0.30103) = -3.01 dB
3Db
3db frequency is the frequency at which the value in the graph is reduced by 3db level It's also known as the half-power point.
its where the gain is max and stable
Bandwidth is typically measured from the two -3dB points on each end of the response curve. You find the two points where the response is -3dB (half power) and measure the distance between them. That is your bandwidth.
The bandwidth of a resonant circuit is defined as the distance between the two -3dB rolloff points in the response curve.
The bandwidth of a circuit, amplifier etc has been chosen to be defined by the points when the power output falls to half its maximum. Log 0.5 is -0.3 which in the decibel notation is -3dB (-0.3 Bels= -3 decibels). When the output power is at 0.5 maximum, then since the power varies as the square of the voltage, the output voltage is 0.707 of the maximum output voltage.

Each 3db doubles the apparent volume.
bandwidth refers to the amount of the frequency spectrum that a signal resides in.example, the spacing between channels on radio are determined by their bandwidth. beamwidth is a physical characteristic of an antenna. they generally mark the point bore sight of a directional antenna that are at -3dB or half power
The -3dB point is the point of half power. In a filter, the -3dB point, more commonly called the half-power point, is the point where the output power is one half the input power. A bandpass filter has two half-power points, and the distance between them is called the bandwidth, whereas a low-pass or high-pass filter has one half-power point, which is called the cutoff frequency. In terms of voltage, the half-power point is where the voltage is 0.707 (1 / square root(2)) of the input voltage.
I m not sure but it should be something like this Shannon capacity(channel capacity) C = B Log2(1+ s/n) C= channel capacity B = bandwidth S/N = signal to noise ratio in power units as the S/n is in db , first we have to convert it. 3db= 10^3/10 = 10^0.3= 1.9926 now putting in the formula C = 300log2(1+ 1.9926) C = 474.81 bps
as upto 3db only the amplifier gives the linear output & after that it gives non linear so it is difficult to determine it's characteristics.also up to 3 db it's energy efficiency is 70.3%. ANSWER: It imply that the amplitude on the output is half.....................
