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

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

Power(Kilowatts) = Math.pow(10,(Power(Decibel-milliwatts)/10)) / 1e6

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 kilowatts, i.e., Power(Kilowatts).

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 Kilowatts.

Answer:

Given:

The power in decibel-milliwatts is:

Power(Decibel-milliwatts) = 30

Formula:

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

Power(Kilowatts) = Math.pow(10,(Power(Decibel-milliwatts)/10)) / 1e6

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power(Decibel-milliwatts) = 30 in the above formula.

Power(Kilowatts) = Math.pow(10,(30/10)) / 1e6

Power(Kilowatts) = 0.001

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 dBm is equal to 0.001 kW.

The power is 0.001 kW, in kilowatts.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The power in decibel-milliwatts is:

Power(Decibel-milliwatts) = 20

Formula:

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

Power(Kilowatts) = Math.pow(10,(Power(Decibel-milliwatts)/10)) / 1e6

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power(Decibel-milliwatts) = 20 in the above formula.

Power(Kilowatts) = Math.pow(10,(20/10)) / 1e6

Power(Kilowatts) = 0.0001

Final Answer:

Therefore, 20 dBm is equal to 0.0001 kW.

The power is 0.0001 kW, in kilowatts.

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.
