How to use this Decibel-milliwatts to Milliwatts Converter 🤔
Follow these steps to convert given power from the units of Decibel-milliwatts to the units of Milliwatts.
Enter the input Decibel-milliwatts value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given Decibel-milliwatts into Milliwatts in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Milliwatts label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Milliwatts value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting Milliwatts 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 Milliwatts is:
Substitute given Power(Decibel-milliwatts) = 20 in the above formula.
Power(Milliwatts) = Math.pow(10,(20/10))
Power(Milliwatts) = 100
Therefore, 20 dBm is equal to 100 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.
Milliwatts
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt. It is often used in contexts where power levels are low, such as in electronics and communications.
