Step 1
a. For P2=100W and P1=5W, the power gain in dB is: Gain (dB) = 10 * log10 (100 / 5) = 10 * log10 (20) = 13.01 dB b. For P2=100mW and P1=5mW, the power gain in dB is: Show more…

Calculate the power gain in decibels for each of the following cases. a. Po = 100 W, Pi = 5 W. b. Po = 100 mW, Pi = 5 mW. c. Po = 100 mW, Pi = 20 μW. Determine GdBm for an output power level of 25 W. Two voltage measurements made across the same resistance are V1 = 110 V and V2 = 220 V. Calculate the power gain in decibels of the second reading over the first reading.

Decibels (Refer to Example 2.) Use the formula $D(x)=10 \log \left(10^{16} x\right)$ to determine the decibels when the intensity of a sound is $x=10^{-1 / 2}$ watt per square centimeter.
