dBµV, dBmV et dBm conversion
dBμV is a logarithmic ratio between a measured voltage Ud and a reference voltage Ur.
The reference voltage is Ur = 1 μV
N = 20 log (Ud/Ur)
dBmV is a logarithmic ratio between a measured voltage Ud and a reference voltage Ur.
The reference voltage is Ur = 1 mV
N = 20 log (Ud/Ur)
dBm is a logarithmic ratio between a measured power Pd and a reference power Pr.
The reference power is Pr = 1 mW into 75 ohms.
N = 10 log (Pd/Pr) with Pd = Ud² / 75
