  2. Decibel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel

    Therefore, the bel represents the logarithm of a ratio between two power quantities of 10:1, or the logarithm of a ratio between two root-power quantities of √ 10:1. [16] Two signals whose levels differ by one decibel have a power ratio of 10 1/10, which is approximately 1.258 93, and an amplitude (root-power quantity) ratio of 10 1/20 (1.122 ...

  3. Signal strength in telecommunications - Wikipedia

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

    In telecommunications, [1] particularly in radio frequency engineering, signal strength refers to the transmitter power output as received by a reference antenna at a distance from the transmitting antenna. High-powered transmissions, such as those used in broadcasting, are expressed in dB-millivolts per metre (dBmV/m).

  4. Rule of 72: What it is and how to use it - AOL

    The natural log of 2 is 0.693147, so when you solve for t using those natural logarithms, you get t = 0.693147/r.. The actual results aren’t round numbers and are closer to 69.3, but 72 easily ...

  5. Dynamic range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range

    Dynamic range (abbreviated DR, DNR, [1] or DYR [2]) is the ratio between the largest and smallest measurable values of a specific quantity. It is often used in the context of signals, like sound and light.

  6. Octave (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    A frequency ratio expressed in octaves is the base-2 logarithm (binary logarithm) of the ratio: = ⁡ An amplifier or filter may be stated to have a frequency response of ±6 dB per octave over a particular frequency range, which signifies that the power gain changes by ±6 decibels (a factor of 4 in power), when the frequency changes by a factor of 2.

  7. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

    A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]

  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. Signal-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio

    A ratio higher than 1:1 (greater than 0 dB) indicates more signal than noise. SNR is an important parameter that affects the performance and quality of systems that process or transmit signals, such as communication systems, audio systems, radar systems, imaging systems, and data acquisition systems. A high SNR means that the signal is clear ...
