  2. dBm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBm

    dBm or dB mW (decibel-milliwatts) is a unit of power level expressed using a logarithmic decibel (dB) scale respective to one milliwatt (mW). It is commonly used by radio, microwave and fiber-optical communication technicians & engineers to measure the power of system transmissions on a log scale , which can express both very large and very ...

  3. DBM (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBM_(computing)

    The dbm library stores arbitrary data by use of a single key (a primary key) in fixed-size buckets and uses hashing techniques to enable fast retrieval of the data by key. The hashing scheme used is a form of extendible hashing , so that the hashing scheme expands as new buckets are added to the database, meaning that, when nearly empty, the ...

  4. Decibel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel

    A power level of 0 dBm corresponds to one milliwatt, and 1 dBm is one decibel greater (about 1.259 mW). In professional audio specifications, a popular unit is the dBu. This is relative to the root mean square voltage which delivers 1 mW (0 dBm) into a 600-ohm resistor, or √ 1 mW × 600 Ω ≈ 0.775 V RMS.

  5. Mobile phone signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_signal

    A mobile phone signal (also known as reception and service) is the signal strength (measured in dBm) received by a mobile phone from a cellular network (on the downlink). Depending on various factors, such as proximity to a tower , any obstructions such as buildings or trees, etc. this signal strength will vary.

  6. Signal strength in telecommunications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_strength_in...

    The electric field strength at a specific point can be determined from the power delivered to the transmitting antenna, its geometry and radiation resistance. Consider the case of a center-fed half-wave dipole antenna in free space, where the total length L is equal to one half wavelength (λ/2).

  7. Transmission level point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_level_point

    The dBm is an absolute reference level measurement (see Decibel § Suffixes and reference values) with respect to 1 mW power. When the nominal signal power is 0 dBm at the TLP, the test point is called a zero transmission level point, or zero-dBm TLP. The abbreviation dBm0 stands for the power in dBm measured

  8. Decibel watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel_watt

    The decibel watt (dBW or dB W) is a unit for the measurement of the strength of a signal expressed in decibels relative to one watt.It is used because of its capability to express both very large and very small values of power in a short range of number; e.g., 1 milliwatt = −30 dBW, 1 watt = 0 dBW, 10 watts = 10 dBW, 100 watts = 20 dBW, and 1,000,000 W = 60 dBW.

  9. Sensitivity (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_(electronics)

    When the power is expressed in dBm the larger the absolute value of the negative number, the better the receive sensitivity. For example, a receiver sensitivity of −98 dBm is better than a receive sensitivity of −95 dBm by 3 dB, or a factor of two. In other words, at a specified data rate, a receiver with a −98 dBm sensitivity can hear ...
