How to use this Decibel-milliwatts to Kilowatts Converter 🤔
Follow these steps to convert given power from the units of Decibel-milliwatts to the units of Kilowatts.
Enter the input Decibel-milliwatts value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given Decibel-milliwatts into Kilowatts in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Kilowatts label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Kilowatts value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting Kilowatts value using the Copy button.
You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.
Formula
The formula to convert given power from Decibel-milliwatts to Kilowatts is:
Substitute given Power(Decibel-milliwatts) = 20 in the above formula.
Power(Kilowatts) = Math.pow(10,(20/10)) / 1e6
Power(Kilowatts) = 0.0001
Therefore, 20 dBm is equal to 0.0001 kW.

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.
Kilowatts
A kilowatt (kW) is equal to 1,000 watts. It is commonly used to express the power output of engines and the power consumption of electrical devices. For example, household appliances and electric vehicles are often rated in kilowatts.
