But usually, in propagation program (VOACAP, etc), the power strength at
receive expressed in dBW is far below such values. I read somewhere the
next equivalences :
- (minus) 93 ~ S9+10, -103 = S9, -127 = S5, -151 = S1.
One S unit referencing 6 dB.
Some receivers has meter in dB over 1 micro V.
With -93 dBW for a S9+10 signal at receive, that 'd mean that the power 'd
be only P(W) = 10^ (dBW/10) = 0.7 watt ?
"W" mean level in Watt.
IMHO this power is much to low... What is wrong in this relations (or in
my interpretation) ?
P log * 10 = dbW
Reverse calculation:
dbW / 10 10^x = P
-93 / 10 10^x = 5,011e-10 = 0,0000000005011 Watt
