    Decibel-Watt (dBW)

    dBW definition

    dBW or decibel-watt is a unit of power in decibel scale, referenced to 1 watt (W).

    The power in decibel-watts (P(dBW)) is equal to 10 times base 10 logarithm of the power in watts
    (P(W)):

    P(dBW) = 10 log10( P(W) / 1W)

    The power in watts (P(W)) is equal to 10 raised by the power in decibel-watts (P(dBW)) divided by
    10:

    P(W) = 1W 10(P(dBW)/ 10)

    1 watt is equal to 0 dBW:

    1W = 0dBW

    1 milliwatt is equal to -30dBW:

    1mW = 0.001W = -30dBW

    How to convert dBW to Watt

    How to convert power in dBW to watts (W).

    The power in watts (P(W)) is equal to 10 raised by the power in dBW (P(dBW)) divided by 10:

    P(W) = 1W 10(P(dBW)/ 10)

    For example: what is the power in watts for power consumption of 20dBW?

    Solution:

    P(W) = 1W 10(20dBW / 10) = 100W

    How to convert Watt to dBW

    How to convert power in watts (W) to dBW.


    The power in dBW is equal to the base 10 logarithm of the power in watts (W):

    P(dBW) = 10 log10( P(W) / 1W)

    For example: what is the power in dBW for power consumption of 100W?

    Solution:

    P(dBW) = 10 log10( 100W / 1W) = 20dBW

    How to convert dBW to dBm

    How to convert power in dBW to dBm.

    The power in dBm is equal to the base 10 logarithm of the power in watts (W):

    P(dBm) = P(dBW) + 30

    For example: what is the power in dBm for power consumption of 20dBW?

    Solution:

    P(dBm) = 20dBW + 30 = 50dBm

    How to convert dBm to dBW

    How to convert power in dBm to dBW.

    The power in dBW (P(dBW)) is equal to 10 raised by the power in dBm (P(dBm)) divided by 10:

    P(dBW) = P(dBm) - 30

    For example: what is the power in watts for power consumption of 40dBm?

    Solution:

    P(dBW) = 40dBm - 30 = 10dBW


    How to convert milliwatts to watts

    One watt is equal to 1000 milliwatts:

    1W = 1000mW

    milliwatts to watts conversion formula

    The power in watts P(W) is equal to the power in milliwatts P(mW), divided by 1000:

    P(W) = P(mW) / 1000

    Example

    Convert 5mW to watts:

    P(W) = 5mW / 1000 = 0.005W

    How to convert megawatts to watts


    1MW = 1000000W

    1W = 0.000001MW

    Megawatts to watts conversion formula

    The power in watts P(W) is equal to 1000000 times the power in megawatts P(MW):

    P(W) = 1000000 P(MW)

    Example

    Convert 3MW to watts:

    P(W) = 1000000 3MW = 3000000W

    How to convert watts to milliwatts

    One watt is equal to 1000 milliwatts:

    1W = 1000mW

    Watts to milliwatts conversion formula

    The power in milliwatts P(mW) is equal to 1000 times the power in watts P(W):
    P(mW) = 1000 P(W)

    Example

    Convert 5W to milliwatts:

    P(mW) = 1000 5W = 5000mW

    How to convert watts to dBm

    The power P(dBm) in dBm is equal to 10 times the base 10 logarithm of 1000 times the power P(W)
    in watts (W) divided by 1 watt (W):

    P(dBm) = 10 log10( 1000 P(W) / 1W) = 10 log10( P(W) / 1W) + 30

    so

    1W = 30dBm

    Example

    Convert 20 watts to dBm:

    P(dBm) = 10 log10(100020W) = 43.0103dBm
