dBm to mW Conversion
Effortlessly convert dBm (decibel-milliwatts) to milliwatts (mW) with our easy-to-use dBm to mW Conversion tool. Simply enter the value in dBm, and our converter will provide you with the equivalent power in milliwatts. Whether for telecommunications, RF engineering, or signal strength calculations, our tool ensures accurate and quick conversions.
What is dBm to mW Conversion
To convert decibel-milliwatts (dBm) to milliwatts (mW), you can use the following formula:
mW = 10^(dBm/10)
Where dBm is the value in decibel-milliwatts and mW is the value in milliwatts.
For example, let's convert 20 dBm to milliwatts:
mW = 10^(20/10) mW = 10^2 mW = 100
Therefore, 20 dBm is equal to 100 milliwatts.
On the other hand, if you want to convert milliwatts to dBm, you can use the formula:
dBm = 10 * log10(mW)
For example, let's convert 100 milliwatts to dBm:
dBm = 10 * log10(100) dBm ≈ 20
Therefore, 100 milliwatts is approximately equal to 20 dBm.
These formulas allow you to convert between dBm and milliwatts, with dBm representing power levels relative to 1 milliwatt using a logarithmic scale.
How to convert dBm to mW
The power conversion of dBm to mW is given by the formula:
P(mW) = 1mW ⋅ 10(P(dBm)/ 10)
So
1dBm = 1.258925mW
Example
Convert 13dBm to milliwatts:
P(mW) = 1mW ⋅ 10(13dBm/ 10) = 19.95mW
