The dBm is also dimensionless, [1] [2] but since it compares to a fixed reference value, the dBm rating is an absolute one. The dBm is not a part of the International System of Units (SI) and therefore is discouraged from use in documents or systems that adhere to SI units.
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).

(ASU - 143) < dBm ≤ (ASU - 140). The value of 0 maps to RSRP below -140 dBm and the value of 97 maps to RSRP above -44 dBm. On Android devices however, the original GSM formula may prevail for UMTS. [4] Tools like Network Signal Info [5] can directly show the signal strength (in dBm), as well as the underlying ASU.
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 .
is the reference distance, usually 1 km (or 1 mile) for a large cell and 1 m to 10 m for a microcell. [1] is the path loss exponent. is a normal (Gaussian) random variable with zero mean, reflecting the attenuation (in decibels) caused by flat fading [citation needed]. In the case of no fading, this variable is 0.
The abbreviation dBm0 stands for the power in dBm measured at a zero transmission level point. The TLP is thus characterized by the relation: [1] TLP = dBm — dBm0. The term TLP is commonly used as if it were a unit, [2] preceded by the nominal level for the test point. For example, the expression 0 TLP refers to a 0 dBm TLP. If for instance a ...
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 signals that are half the power of those heard by a receiver with a −95 dBm receiver sensitivity.
