Math Problem Statement

Express 0.32V in decibel millivolts

Solution

To express 0.32V in decibel millivolts (dBmV), we can use the following formula:

dBmV=20×log10(V1mV)\text{dBmV} = 20 \times \log_{10}\left(\frac{V}{1 \text{mV}}\right)

Where:

  • VV is the voltage in volts.
  • 1 mV = 0.001 V.

Now, substitute 0.32V into the equation:

dBmV=20×log10(0.320.001)\text{dBmV} = 20 \times \log_{10}\left(\frac{0.32}{0.001}\right)

Let me calculate that.The voltage of 0.32V is equivalent to approximately 50.1 dBmV.
