📐 Formula
💡 Practical Example
30 dBm power into a 50 Ω load: Power in mW = 10^ = 1,000 mW. Power in Watts = 1.0000 W (7.071 V RMS | 20.000 Vpp).
📖 About dBm to Watts & Milliwatts (mW
dBm is a logarithmic power unit referenced to 1 milliwatt. Every +3 dB increase doubles signal power in watts.
To use the dBm to Watts & Milliwatts (mW) Converter, enter your Power in dBm, System Load Impedance. The calculator instantly computes Power in Watts (W), Power in Milliwatts (mW) and more. Results update in real time as you change any input — no submit button needed.
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Power in dBm (e.g. 30 in dBm) and System Load Impedance (e.g. 50 in Ω). Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.
The Formula
Power (mW) = 10^( Power dBm ÷ 10 )
Power (Watts) = Power (mW) ÷ 1,000
RMS Voltage V_rms = √( Power Watts × Load Impedance Ω )
Worked Example
30 dBm power into a 50 Ω load:
Power in mW = 10^ = 1,000 mW.
Power in Watts = 1.0000 W (7.071 V RMS | 20.000 Vpp).
Understanding Your Result
Unit conversion precision: round to the same number of significant figures as your original measurement. Converting 6 feet to meters gives 1.8288 m — but if your measurement was approximate (±1 inch), expressing more than 2 decimal places is false precision. For international trade and technical specifications, SI units (meters, kilograms, liters) are the standard. US customary units (feet, pounds, gallons) differ from Imperial UK units: 1 US gallon = 3.785 L vs. 1 UK gallon = 4.546 L.
