    Thanks for pointing out the *contextual difference* of the decibel (voltage, amplitude, … vs power, watt, …).
    Mathematically speaking, the *equal sign is formally used this way though:*
    *Power:* A/B = 10W/1W = 10log(10W/1W)dB = 10log(10)dB = 10dB = 1B
    *Field:* A/B = 10V/1V = 20log(10V/1V)dB = 20log(10)dB = 20dB = 2B

      I used to think prefix deci in dB stood for the log to the base '10'. But it looks it stood for metric prefix, ie represent multiplier 10 scale, not the base. But if deci is removed how do you say B; is it 'bels'

      Pls give solution.

    • @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS
      @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS  7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Yes, that is true. Direct addition nahi hoga. First you need to convert each power into mW or watt. And then you can add them.
      So, P1 in mW will be equal to 10 mW and P2 will be equal to 3.2 mW.
      So, P1 + P2= 13.2 mW
      And if we again convert it back into dBm then it would be equal to 11.2 dBm.
      I hope its clear to you.

    • @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS

      convert 5dBm into mW. In mW, it will be equal to 10^(5/10). If you calculate, it will come out around 3.16 mW.
      Or roughly 3.2 mW.
      Rest of the procedure I have already mentioned in the earlier comment.
      I hope it will clear your doubt.

    Hello.
    I need explanation of what is dBm in RF communication.
    For example I have two RF Module.
    The Transmit Power is 14dBm.What dose this mean?
    After connection RSSI is -9 dBm.What dose this mean?
    Can you help me please?

    • @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS
      @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      dBm is used to represent the power in milliwatt.
      14dBm means the power is around 25mW.
      When the power is less than 1mW then in dBm it will be negative.
      -9dBm means power is approximately equal to 0.125 mW or 125 uW.
      For the calculation, you can use the equation given in the video. Direct conversion calculators are also available on the web. You can also use them.
      I hope it will help you.

      Because at that frequency, the output voltage reduces to 0.707 of the maximum value. If you convert it into the dB then Vo / Vin is -3dB. That's why it's called -3dB frequency. I hope it will clear your doubt.

      For power, it becomes half at -3dB. The equation for power is Power (in dB) = 10 log (Power in Watt/ 1W).

      @@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS If two quantities are in dB then they can be added directly. Then why can't we simply add P1 and P2 to get P i.e. why is P=10+5=15 not true? Please explain.

      @@tariqislam9388 hi, 40db+50db=90db is correct, because this is a system of two amplifiers in series and amplification can be represented as Pin * A1 * A2.
      P=10dBm + 5dBm =15dBm not true because we just want to make addition powers (not multiplication) (this is the key)
      to sum up, multiplication in normal scale is equivalent to addition in dB (LOGARİTHMİC) scale.

      @@ekremfidan6311 Hi. Thanks for your explanation. But I still do not understand this thing well. Apparently it seems easy but I think I have problem some where in the basics. Can you please tell what background knowledge should I have in order to understand this db, dbm etc thing. Thanks.

    Remember to pronounce Watt and not Volt when you write Watt.
