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.

How do you convert dBm to watts?

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 75 dBm converted into dBW?

dBw=dBm-30 then 75-30=45 dBw dBw=dBm-30 then 75-30=45 dBw dBw=dBm-30 then 75-30=45 dBw


Difference between dB dBm and dBi?

dB or dBW relativ to 1W : dBm for dB relativ to 1 milliwatt. 0 dBm= 1 mW = -30dBW . Its interesting,but these terms are used interchangeably at times, erroneously.The term dBm is used by communications engineers and it is absolute.Most Power meters commercially available have this scale. It is : dBm=10log(base 10)(P1/P2) at two different Power points.Power is read always across a 50 Ohm resistor.IEEE has made this a standard and 1mW=0dBm(-40dBm is 100nW accross 50 Ohm and +20dBm is 100mW). As far as I know dB(not DB)refers simly to gain(and loss/attenuation as -dB).It is different this time as the equation is not Power but a simple ratio: dB=20log(base 10)(Gain or attenuation).One can have a reference and above that reference he is talking in positive dBs(Gain) and below in negative dBs(loss or attenuation).Such scales can then be modified as we have done for Acoustic Emission where we talk in dBae and our refence is the "perfect" sensor giving us ONLY 1microVolt(!) Peak output noise.Anyway a good goal.So for 40dBae a sensor/Amplifier(40dB Gain)output across a 50 Ohm resistor is 10mV.

How do you convert dB to DBi?

To convert dB to dBi (decibels isotropic), you need to add 2.15 dB to the dB value. This adjustment accounts for the difference in reference points used in the two scales. So, if you have a value of x dB, the equivalent value in dBi would be x + 2.15 dBi.


How do you convert dBm to dB?

the first convert the power in dBm to MW, the define of dBm=10 log (P MW) -10 log ( 1mw). example: let P=-2 dBm convert this to dB? answer: Pmw= inv log(-2/10)=0.630mw*1000 micw/mw=630 microw 10log(630)=28dB


What is the difference between Dbi and Dbm?

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 formula to convert dbm to db?

To convert dBm (decibels relative to 1 milliwatt) to dB (decibels), you can use the formula: ( \text{dB} = \text{dBm} - 30 ). This is because 0 dBm corresponds to 1 milliwatt, and dB represents a ratio relative to 1 watt. Therefore, subtracting 30 adjusts the dBm value to reflect a comparison to 1 watt instead of 1 milliwatt.

Milliwatts to dbm conversion?

The 'm' in dBm means the power is referenced to 1mW. So, the power in dBm equals 10 times the log of the power in mW, or P(dBm) = 10*log(P(mW)/1mW). For example, 1W = 1000mW, so 10*log(1000/1) = 30dBm.

I am trying to convert a measurement from milliwatts to dBm which is done by the following formula dBm equals 10Log10milliwatts was wondering how to put this formula into Microsoft Excel Anyone know?

Put the power in milliwatts in cell A2, and then use the following formula to get the power in dBm. =10 * LOG(A2)


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
