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

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


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.

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)


Convert db to dbm?

Here's how to convert dB units (with usually a 1 Watt or whatever 1 value as reference) to dBm units (with a 1 miliWatt reference value):x= value to be convertedx [dB]= x + 30 [dBm]Proof:P= 1 Watt--> 10*log10(1)= 0 [dB] (this is 1 Watt in dB)--> 10*log10(1/(1*10^(-3)))= 10*log(1*10^3)= 30 dBm (this is 1 Watt to dBm)Now, if you do whatever number of examples you want to do, you'll end up in concluding the conversion dB to dBm is totally linear without of actually having to proof the linear properties. (i'm too lazy to write it here).Hope this helps....Regards,STMI


How do you get power output with a given power input of 20dbm and three power gain which is Ap1 equals 10 ap2 equals 4 ap3 equals 23?

Two ways to do it. In this particular problem, it's a matter of opinionwhich one is easier and which one is harder.Way #1:Convert dBm to watts, multiply by gains, convert output watts to dBm.+20 dBm = 0.1 watt.Output power = (0.1 watt) x (ap1) x (ap2) x (ap3) = 0.1 x 10 x 4 x 23 = 92 watts = +49.64 dBmWay #2:Convert each gain ratio to dB, then add all dB to input power.ap1 = 10 = 10 dBap2 = 4 = 6.02 dBap3 = 23 = 13.62 dB+20 dBm + 10dB + 6.02 dB + 13.62 dB = +49.64 dBm
