TYPICAL CONVERSION FORMULAS
The constant in the above equation is derived as follows. Power is related to voltage according to
Ohm's law. The Log
Note, the resistance of 50 used above reflects that RF systems are matched to 50
systems use decibels referenced from 1 mW, the corresponding voltage increase for every 1 mW
The logarithmic form of Ohm's law shown above is provided to describe why the log of the
The constant in this equation is derived following similar logic. First, consider the pointing vector
which relates the power density (W/m
Where η is the free space characteristic impedance equal to 120π
decibels and using the appropriate conversion factor to convert dBW/m
density and dBV/m to dBµV/m for the electric field, the constant becomes 115.8.
Where AF is the antenna factor of the antenna being used, provided by the antenna manufacturer or
To derive the constant for the above equation, simply convert the characteristic impedance of free
The derivation for the constant in the above equation comes from the decibel equivalent of the factor
