If you’ve hung around electronics for any length of time, you’ve surely heard of the decibel (often abbreviated dB). The decibel is a measure of a power ratio. Actually, the real measure is a bel, but ...
From the Richter scale to sound pressure, many modern units utilize the logarithmic “base 10” system. But to many engineers, the decibel (dB) remains one of the trickiest concepts of test and ...
Termination resistors and the ratio units of voltage and power — dB — are interrelated topics. The dB units can refer to voltage or power, and conversions between voltage dB units and power dB units ...
