What is the formula to convert from Watts to Decibel-milliwatts?

The formula to convert power value from the unit of Watts to the unit of Decibel-milliwatts is:

Power_{(Decibel-milliwatts)} = 10 × Math.log(Power_(Watts) × 1000) × Math.LOG10E

Watts unit in Power

The Watt (W) is the SI unit of power, named after James Watt. It represents the rate of energy transfer equivalent to one joule per second. Watts are used to measure the output of engines, electrical devices, and other forms of energy conversion.

Decibel-milliwatts unit in Power

The Decibel-milliwatt (dBm) is a logarithmic unit used to express power levels relative to 1 milliwatt. It is often used in radio, microwave, and fiber-optic communications to measure signal strength.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about "Watts ➜ Decibel-milliwatts" Conversion

1. What is the conversion formula from Watts to Decibel-milliwatts?

The formula to convert Watts to Decibel-milliwatts in Power is:

10*Math.log(Watts*1000)*Math.LOG10E

2. How do I convert from Watts to Decibel-milliwatts given a value in Watts units?

To convert Power from Watts to Decibel-milliwatts, you can use the following formula:

10*Math.log(Watts*1000)*Math.LOG10E
