The dBW to dBm calculator allows you to easily convert a power expressed in dBW into its corresponding value in dBm.
This tool is handy for RF engineers and technicians who work on signal transmission and measurement systems.
Formula used
dBm = dBW + 30
Explanation
The conversion between dBW and dBm is simple: simply add 30 to the dBW value to obtain the equivalent dBm value.
This formula is based on the difference in scale between the two units, where 1 dBW corresponds to 30 dBm.
Calculation example
For a power of 5 dBW :
dBm = 5 + 30 = 35 dBm
Benefits and Use
- Quick conversion between dBW and dBm without manual calculation.
- Useful for sizing and analysis of RF systems.
- Allows you to easily compare power levels between different units.
- Practical for laboratory or field measurements.
