decibelwatt
Decibelwatt, abbreviated dBW, is a logarithmic unit of power expressed as decibels relative to one watt. It is commonly used in radio frequency, telecommunications, and audio applications to describe transmitter power, link budgets, and received power levels when the reference is 1 watt.
Definition and calculation: P_dBW = 10 log10(P_W / 1 W) = 10 log10(P_W), where P_W is the power in
Relation to other units: The decibel-watt is most often used for transmitter power specifications and link
Applications and considerations: dBW is convenient for handling large dynamic ranges and for additive link-budget calculations
In summary, decibelwatt provides a practical, logarithmic way to express power levels with a 1-watt reference,
