How to use this Decibel-milliwatts to Megawatts Converter 🤔
Follow these steps to convert given power from the units of Decibel-milliwatts to the units of Megawatts.
Enter the input Decibel-milliwatts value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given Decibel-milliwatts into Megawatts in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Megawatts label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Megawatts value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting Megawatts 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 Megawatts is:
Substitute given Power(Decibel-milliwatts) = 20 in the above formula.
Power(Megawatts) = Math.pow(10,(20/10)) / 1e9
Power(Megawatts) = 1e-7
Therefore, 20 dBm is equal to 1e-7 MW.

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.
Megawatts
A megawatt (MW) is equal to one million watts. This unit is often used to measure the output of power plants or the power consumption of large-scale facilities. It is a standard unit in the field of energy generation and consumption.
