Re: [Repeater-Builder] Formula for dB - Power

2005-06-06 Thread Eric Lemmon
To convert a power ratio to dB, the formula is 10 log Po/Pi. For example, if you had an amplifier that took 2 watts input and provided 40 watts output, that ratio is 40/2 = 20. The common logarithm (base 10) of 20 is 1.30..., and multiply that by 10 and you get 13.01 dB gain. Likewise, if you

If the heatsink was very hot, then I would assume that the PA transistors were working. Obviously, there are better methods to verify this. But lets say they were working, I would check the jumper between the PA filter boards. This is a common failure point on UHF PAs as well. Does your

Q is figure of merit. The Q of a circuit determines how selective it is. In a filter the Q would be an indication of the slope of the skirt. The higher the Q the sharper the slope of the skirt and the more rejection available to the filter. In a capacitor it is how lossy the capacitor is, the
