If transmitter power is increased from 200 Watts to 400 Watts how do you convert to Db form?

Decibels (db) is relative power, log base 2, times 3. Increasing power from 200 watts to 400 watts is doubling power, so the decibel change is +3 db.800 watts would be +6 db, 1600 watts would be +9 db, 100 watts would be -3 db, 50 watts would be -6 db, and so on.


Prove dbm plus dbm equals db?

The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale where each change in three dB represents a power factor change of two. (3 dB is power times two, 6 dB is power times four, 9 dB is power times 8, etc. Similarly, -3dB is power divided by two, -6 dB is power divided by four, etc.) Zero dB is assigned some arbitrary reference power. One example is 1 mV across 600 ohms. If you double the voltage into a constant resistance, the power quadruples, so 2 mV would be +6 dB, 4 mV would be +12 dB, etc. The letter after dB is the reference power. In the case of dBm, it means that 0 dB is 1 milliwatt, so 2 milliwatt is +3 dB, etc. There are many dB scales, such as dBa, used in sound measurements. Still, fundamentally, 3 dB is a doubling of power, -3 dB is a halving of power, so, for any arbitrary scale, say dBq, then saying +6dBq is saying a power four times higher than 0 dBq. In the end, dBm plus dBm is delta dB, with no scale.

What is the dB rating for pain threshold?

If you mean the sound pressure level that causes pain, it is about 120 dB SPL.


How 3db dandwidth equals half power bandwidth?

"3 dB" is a nickname for "1/2 power". "1/2 power" in dB = 10 log(1/2) = 10 (-0.30103) = -3.01 dB

What is half as loud in db?

Half as loud in decibels is about a 10 dB decrease. For example, if a sound is initially at 70 dB, half as loud would be around 60 dB.


What is the loudness of a normal conservation?

A normal conversation has a loudness (decibels level) of about 60 dB. As iy approached 70 dB it would be come loud.


How many decibels is are fireworks?

140 dB A normal conversation is about 60 dB (Just to let you know how loud fireworks are)


How loud is 62 db?

A sound level of 62 decibels (dB) is comparable to the noise of a normal conversation or background music in a restaurant. It is generally considered to be moderately loud but not disruptive. For context, normal breathing is around 10 dB, while a quiet library might be around 40 dB. Sounds above 60 dB can start to become intrusive, especially in quiet environments.


How loud you can be?

100 dB


How loud is 76.5 db?

A sound level of 76.5 dB is considered moderately loud. It is comparable to the noise of a busy restaurant or a vacuum cleaner. Prolonged exposure to sounds at this level may cause some hearing discomfort, but it is generally safe for short durations. For context, normal conversation typically ranges from 60 to 70 dB.


How loud is a avalanche in decibels?

A avalanche can range from 100 dB to 180 dB


How loud is a sound that measures 55 dB?

A sound that measures 55 dB is considered moderately loud, similar to a normal conversation or background music.


How loud is 100 db?

100 dB is considered very loud and can cause hearing damage with extended exposure. It is approximately as loud as a chainsaw, a jackhammer, or a rock concert. It is recommended to use ear protection in environments with noise levels reaching 100 dB.


How loud is the noise, if it is 55 db loud?

A noise that is 55 decibels loud is considered moderate in volume.


How loud is 94 dB?

94 dB is considered to be loud and can cause hearing damage with prolonged exposure. It is similar to the noise level of a motorcycle or a lawnmower at close range.


How loud is 1100 dB?

1100 dB is an extremely loud sound level that is far beyond the threshold of human hearing and can cause immediate and severe damage to the ears.
