Decibel Display
The dBm unit calculates the power delivered to a reference
resistance relative to 1 mW, and can be applied to DC V, AC
V, and AC+DC V measurements for decibel conversion.
Voltage measurement is converted to dBm using the
following formula:
(1)
The reference impedance may be specified from 1 Ω to
9999 Ω in Setup mode. The default value is 50 Ω.
The dBV unit calculates the voltage with respect to 1 V. The
formula is as shown below:
