What is the Formula to convert Decibel-watts to Gigawatts?
The formula to convert given power from Decibel-watts to Gigawatts is:
Substitute the given value of power in decibel-watts, i.e., Power(Decibel-watts) 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 radio station transmitter operates at 50 decibel-watts (dBW). Convert this power level from decibel-watts to Gigawatts.
Answer:
Given:
The power in decibel-watts is:
Power(Decibel-watts) = 50
Formula:
The formula to convert power from decibel-watts to gigawatts is:
Substitute given weight Power(Decibel-watts) = 40 in the above formula.
Power(Gigawatts) = Math.pow(10,(40/10)) / 1e9
Power(Gigawatts) = 0.00001
Final Answer:
Therefore, 40 dBW is equal to 0.00001 GW.
The power is 0.00001 GW, in gigawatts.

Decibel-watts
A decibel watt (dBW) is a unit of power level relative to one watt, expressed in decibels. It is commonly used in telecommunications and audio engineering to describe power levels in a logarithmic scale.
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.
