"dB" expresses a ratio between two different power levels.

15W can't be expressed in dB. It can only be expressed as some number of dB

more or less than some other power.

If the reference level is 1 watt, then 15W is written as " +17 dBW ".

That means " 17 dB more power than 1 watt ".

In most of electronics and telecommunications, the reference level is usually 1 milliwatt.

Using that common reference level, 15W is written as " +47 dBm ".

That means " 47 dB more power than 1 milliwatt ".

=========================================================

The question starts from 15 watts.

Using 1 watt as the reference level ...

(15 watts) divided by (1 watt) = 15.

10 log(15) = +11.76 dBW (11.76 dB more power than 1 watt)

Using 1 milliwatt as the reference level ...

(15 watts) divided by (0.001 watt) = 15,000

10log(15,000) = +41.76 dBm (41.76 dB more power than 1 milliwatt)

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 db to mw?

To convert from dB (decibels) to mW (milliwatts), you can use the formula: mW = 10^(dB/10). Simply take the dB value and divide it by 10, then raise 10 to that power to get the mW value. For example, if you have 20 dB, the calculation would be mW = 10^(20/10) = 100 mW.


How do you convert 40w to db?

To convert power in watts to decibels (dB), you can use the formula: dB = 10 * log10(P2/P1), where P1 is the reference power (usually 1 watt) and P2 is the power you are converting (40 watts in this case). Plugging in the values, you would calculate: dB = 10 * log10(40/1) = 16.02 dB.


How do you convert hz to db?

You cannot directly convert hertz (Hz) to decibels (dB) because they measure different quantities. Hz measures frequency, while dB measures the level or intensity of a sound signal. To get dB from Hz, you would need to measure the intensity or power of the sound and then calculate the corresponding dB value using a reference level.


How do you convert from db HL to db SPL?

To convert from dB HL (Hearing Level) to dB SPL (Sound Pressure Level), you typically need the specific audiogram for the individual. Once you have the individual's threshold values at different frequencies, you can use them to make the conversion. Each audiometric frequency has a specific conversion factor to convert from dB HL to dB SPL. It is not a direct and consistent conversion across all frequencies.

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


25dB equal to how many watts?

That depends on you. If you want, you can say 1 watt should be 0 dB.


How do you convert sone to decibel?

To convert sone to decibel, you can use the formula: Decibels (dB) = 40 log(sone) For example, if the loudness level is 4 sones, the equivalent decibel level would be 40 log(4) ≈ 60 dB.
