dB Calc

Features dB Calc

Decibel Calculator.Translate ratios into decibel (dB) and back.There are two types of translations: 10*log(P/P0) and 20*log(U/U0).From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:"A decibel (dB) is one tenth of a bel (B), i.e.
1B = 10dB.
The bel is the logarithm of the ratio between two power quantities of 10:1, and between two field quantities in the ratio.
A field quantity is a quantity such as voltage, current, sound pressure, electric field strength, velocity and charge density, the square of which in linear systems is proportional to power.
A power quantity is a power or a quantity directly proportional to power, e.g.
energy density, acoustic intensity and luminous intensity.The calculation of the ratio in decibels varies depending on whether the quantity being measured is a power quantity or a field quantity.Two signals that differ by one decibel have a power ratio of 1.258925411794167 and an amplitude ratio of 1.122018454301963."
