dB (decibel) is a logarithmic measure of the ratio of two power values, for example, two signal strengths. This is often used for power gain or power loss. For example, a loss of 10 dB means that the signal degrades by a factor of 10, a loss of 20 dB means that the signal degrades by a factor of 100, and a loss of 30 dB means that the signal degrades by a factor of 1000.

How 3db dandwidth equals half power bandwidth?

"3 dB" is a nickname for "1/2 power". "1/2 power" in dB = 10 log(1/2) = 10 (-0.30103) = -3.01 dB


How many watts is 98db?

It depends on the reference. If the reference electric power is P0 = 1 W (0 dB) then 98 dB equals 6309573444.8 Watts.


What is -2 db in watts?

To convert decibels (dB) to watts, you can use the formula: ( P = P_0 \times 10^{(dB/10)} ), where ( P_0 ) is the reference power level (usually 1 watt). For -2 dB, the calculation would be ( P = 1 \times 10^{-2/10} ), which equals approximately 0.63095 watts. Thus, -2 dB corresponds to about 0.631 watts.


What is the difference between dB SPL and dB SL?

There are several types of dB. dB SPL are decibels measuring sound pressure levels. There is an accepted reference point of 0 dB SPL which equals 20 micropascals = 2 × 10-5 pascals. dB SL are decibels measuring a signal relative to an individuals auditory threshold. For example, if a person's minimum threshold is 30 dB HL (yet another type of decibel measuring how much worse a person's hearing is based on a referential dB level) and a signal is at 40 dB HL, the sensation level of this signal to this individual is 10 db SL (40 dB - 30 dB = 10 dB SL).


What does NRR equals 30 db mean?

NRR means Noise Reduction Ratio and 30 db (decibels) is about average. 30db hearing protection would be commonly used by shooters to reduce the sound of gun fire.

What L is measured in decibels?

L stands for level. All levels are measured in decibels or dB. You need a reference, e.g. the threshold of hearing: p0 = 20 µPa = 2 x 10-5 pascals that equals 0 dB.
