Convert ratios to decibel (amplitude)s
How to convert ratios to decibel (amplitude)s
Convert through a plain ratio: ratio → ratio → decibel (amplitude). Logarithmic units cannot be converted by multiplying alone.
Ratio: The plain multiplier every logarithmic unit here converts through. Read a decibel figure as an encoding of this number.
Decibel (amplitude): For voltage, pressure and other field quantities. 6 dB is roughly double the amplitude — and the same fourfold change in power.
