Power Conversion Wireless Calculator
Convert between milliwatts (mW) and dBm for radios, access points, and test gear. Use this dedicated URL for content about transmit power units, logarithmic power, and dBm vs watts.
Power Conversion Wireless Calculator — milliWatts to dBm (and vice versa)
Power in milliWatts to dBm (and vice versa). Enter the 'Transmit Power' in milliWatts OR the 'Power Ratio' in dBm and click the appropriate 'Calculate' button. 1 Watt = 1000 milliWatts.
See the calculations and equations used for this wireless calculator.
dBm to milliWatts Calculations
- mW to dBm = 10Log10(mW)
- dBm to mW = 10(dBm/10)
