Watts to dBm Converter

Use this tool to convert power (mW or W) to dBm, a logarithmic unit commonly used in RF and telecommunications. Default input is in milliwatts.

Result: 0 dBm

Conversion Formula:

dBm = 10 × log₁₀(mW)

Calculation Steps:

1. Get power in milliwatts (convert if needed)

2. Calculate dBm = 10 × log₁₀(mW)

Reference Points:

  • 1 mW = 0 dBm
  • 10 mW = 10 dBm
  • 100 mW = 20 dBm
  • 1000 mW = 30 dBm (1 W)

This tool helps with:

  • RF System Design: Calculate transmitter power levels for wireless communication systems.

  • Antenna Testing: Verify power output to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

  • Wireless Communications: Convert power values for signal strength analysis in WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular networks.
