Editing dBm measurement
The logarithmic dBm (decibels relative to one milliwatt) scale is often used in RF
signal measurements. The multimeter's dBm operation takes a measurement and
calculates the power delivered to a reference resistance (typically 50, 75, or
600 ). The formula used for conversion from the voltage reading is:
dBm = 10 × Log
You can choose from several reference resistance values:
R
250 , 300 , 500 , 600 , 800 , 900 , 1000 , 1200 , or 8000 .
