How do you convert a value to dB?

The dB scale is a logarithmic, unitless scale. It always requires a reference quantity to be related against. The dB is calculated via two different expressions XdB=10log10(XlinXref)orYdB=20log10(YlinYref). If you convert a quantity X that relates to power or energy, the factor is 10.

How do you convert absolute power ratio to dB?

Power ratio to dB conversion

The gain G_dB is equal to 10 times base 10 logarithm of the ratio of the power P₂ and the reference power P₁.

What is the formula for dB?

One decibel (0.1 bel) equals 10 times the common logarithm of the power ratio. Expressed as a formula, the intensity of a sound in decibels is 10 log₁₀ (S₁/S₂), where S₁ and S₂ are the intensity of the two sounds; i.e., doubling the intensity of a sound means an increase of a little more than 3 dB.

How to convert to dB in matlab?

dboutput = db( x ) converts the elements of x to decibels (dB). This syntax assumes that x contains voltage measurements across a resistance of 1 Ω. dboutput = db( x , SignalType ) specifies the signal type represented by the elements of x as either 'voltage' or 'power' .
