Table of decibel values

- a table or chart of deciBels against Power and Voltage or Current Ratios.


Decibels pages include:

    •  Decibel & formula
    •  Decibel table / chart
    •  Watts / dBm / dBW conversion table
    •  dBm / Watts / voltage conversion table
    •  Decibel calculator
    •  Nepers & neper to dB conversion

The decibel is widely used in radio and electronics design calculations.

When undertaking electronics or RF design and development it is often necessary to compare the value of two parameters.

It is then possible to alter the electronics design to match the requirements.

As values in electronics circuits may vary quite widely, it is often convenient to use a logarithmic scale such as the decibel (dB).
