How to use this Decibel-milliwatts to Gigawatts Converter 🤔

Follow these steps to convert given power from the units of Decibel-milliwatts to the units of Gigawatts.

1. Enter the input Decibel-milliwatts value in the text field.
2. The calculator converts the given Decibel-milliwatts into Gigawatts in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Gigawatts label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Gigawatts value is re-calculated, just like that.
3. You may copy the resulting Gigawatts value using the Copy button.
4. To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
5. You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.

What is the Formula to convert Decibel-milliwatts to Gigawatts?

The formula to convert given power from Decibel-milliwatts to Gigawatts is:

Power_(Gigawatts) = Math.pow(10,(Power_{(Decibel-milliwatts)}/10)) / 1e12

Substitute the given value of power in decibel-milliwatts, i.e., Power_{(Decibel-milliwatts)} in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the power in gigawatts, i.e., Power_(Gigawatts).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a mobile phone antenna operates at 30 decibel-milliwatts (dBm).
Convert this power level from decibel-milliwatts to Gigawatts.

Answer:

Given:

The power in decibel-milliwatts is:

Power_{(Decibel-milliwatts)} = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert power from decibel-milliwatts to gigawatts is:

Power_(Gigawatts) = Math.pow(10,(Power_{(Decibel-milliwatts)}/10)) / 1e12

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power_{(Decibel-milliwatts)} = 30 in the above formula.

Power_(Gigawatts) = Math.pow(10,(30/10)) / 1e12

Power_(Gigawatts) = 1e-9

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 dBm is equal to 1e-9 GW.

The power is 1e-9 GW, in gigawatts.

2

Consider that a Wi-Fi router broadcasts at 20 decibel-milliwatts (dBm).
Convert this signal strength from decibel-milliwatts to Gigawatts.

Answer:

Given:

The power in decibel-milliwatts is:

Power_{(Decibel-milliwatts)} = 20

Formula:

The formula to convert power from decibel-milliwatts to gigawatts is:

Power_(Gigawatts) = Math.pow(10,(Power_{(Decibel-milliwatts)}/10)) / 1e12

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power_{(Decibel-milliwatts)} = 20 in the above formula.

Power_(Gigawatts) = Math.pow(10,(20/10)) / 1e12

Power_(Gigawatts) = 1e-10

Final Answer:

Therefore, 20 dBm is equal to 1e-10 GW.

The power is 1e-10 GW, in gigawatts.

Decibel-milliwatts

A decibel milliwatt (dBm) is a unit of power level used in radio, microwave, and fiber-optic communication networks. It is a logarithmic unit that expresses power relative to one milliwatt.

Gigawatts

A gigawatt (GW) is equal to one billion watts. It is used to measure large-scale power output, such as the capacity of entire power grids or large power plants. Gigawatts are used in the context of national or regional energy production.
