When the power (energy) is dropped to the value of 50 percent, the decibel loss is 3 dB, but the voltage is dropped to the value of 70.1 percent. Power drop to 50 % means -3 dB; that is 70.1 % voltage drop. Power drop to 25 % means -6 dB; that is 50 % voltage drop.

Where was term decibel or db first used?

Decibel with the abbreviation dB is equal to one-tenth of a bel, after Alexander Graham Bell. It is a measuring system, first used in telephony in 1929, where signal loss is a logarithmic function of the cable length; see: W.H. Martin, "DeciBel - the new name for the transmission unit. Bell System Tech. J. January, 1929".

Who invented the decibel scale?

The decibel scale was originally used to quantify signal loss in a telephone circuit. The original unit, bel, was named in honor of Alexander Graham Bell. The decibel was devised by the Bell Telephone Laboratories in the 1920's.

What is the quality of a signal?

The quality of a signal is a measure of how much the signal has changed during transmission. A high quality signal has changed very little. A low quality signal has other information in it which was not there in the original signal. The additional unwanted information is called noise.


Why is the decibel used in telecommunications to measure signal strength?

To ensure that circuits equipment and networks perform as designed.
