6 Telecommunications Calculators

Telecommunications & RF Calculators

Convert dB amplification gains, solve frequency wavelengths for antennas, compute line transmission attenuation losses, calculate light propagation speed delays in optical fiber, evaluate Shannon capacity boundaries, and gauge Bit Error Rates (BER).

dB Gain & Power

Convert between decibels (dB), power ratios, voltage ratios, and absolute power levels (Watts ↔ dBm).

Decibel / Ratio Converter

Absolute Power levels (dBm ↔ Watts)

Power Ratio (Linear)

100.000× gain
An increase of 20 dB amplifies original power by 100.000.
Voltage / Field Strength Ratio
10.000× voltage multiplier
30 dBm converts to1.0000 Watts
1.0 Watts converts to30.00 dBm

Telecommunication Constants

Decibels (dB) are logarithmic units expressing power ratios. A 3 dB change doubles or halves the power. A 10 dB change corresponds to a factor of 10.

Shannon-Hartley Theorem establishes the absolute maximum error-free data rate (capacity) for a noisy communication channel.

Velocity Factor (VF) is the speed of electromagnetic waves in a transmission line relative to their speed in vacuum. For example, light travels ~31% slower inside fiber glass than in empty space.
