Decibels to Watts Converter
dB to Wattage Conversion
The decibel (symbol: dB) is a relative unit of measurement corresponding to one tenth of a bel (B). It is used to express the ratio of one value of a power or root-power quantity to another, on a logarithmic scale. A logarithmic quantity in decibels is called a level. Two signals whose levels differ by one decibel have a power ratio of 101/10 (approximately 1.25893) or (sometimes equivalently) an amplitude (field quantity) ratio of 101⁄20 (approximately 1.12202)
The watt (symbol: W) is a unit of power. In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second,[1] and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. In SI base units, the watt is described as kg⋅m2⋅s−3.[2] The watt is named after James Watt, an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
