This converter calculates the power ratio in decibels between the output and input power levels. It helps compare amplifier performance or signal losses in RF systems.
Formula
RatiodB = 10 × log10(Pout / Pin)
Formula Explanation
- Pout is the output power in watts or milliwatts.
- Pin is the input power in watts or milliwatts.
- The logarithmic scale expresses the power gain or loss in decibels.
Example
Input: Pout = 200 mW, Pin = 100 mW
Result: Ratio ≈ 3.01 dB
Who uses it
Useful for RF engineers, technicians, and students analyzing power gains or losses in communication systems.
