About this calculator
Overview
RF unit conversion between dBm, dBW, watts, and volts. Essential for radio, WiFi, and telecommunications. dBm referenced to 1 milliwatt.
💡
Pro Tips
0 dBm = 1 mW; 30 dBm = 1 watt.
+3 dB = 2× power; +10 dB = 10× power.
50Ω standard impedance.
dB is ratio; dBm is absolute.

Fun Facts
"WiFi: 20-30 dBm (100-1000 mW)."
"Cell phone: 23-33 dBm typical."
"Receiver sensitivity: -90 to -120 dBm."
"Free space loss: 6 dB per doubling distance."
Formula: dBm = 10 × log10(mW); Watts = 10^(dBm/10) / 1000
