About this document

Understanding dBW and Power Conversions by Umar Hayat is a document available to read on EtoBox.

dBW is a unit of power measurement that is referenced to 1 watt. The dBW value is calculated by taking the base-10 logarithm of the ratio between the measured power in watts and 1 watt. Common dBW values include 0 dBW for 1 watt and -30 dBW for 1 milliwatt. dBW can be converted to other units like dBm, watts, and milliwatts using logarithmic equations. Conversion tables provide examples of typical power level values in dBW, dBm and watts.
