I wrote a program that (among other things) does the conversion between dB(uV/m), dB(mW), Watts and Volts/meter. A free version is available from my website. http://www.rfsoftware.com/rfpl/downloads.
dBu is a measure of voltage, expressed as dB relative to 1 microvolt. There is one major problem with this expression, as it also has to be referred to the termination. It can be either "dBu EMF" whi
Many thanks to all that have responded to my query re dbu conversion to either microvolts or dbm. Got it all in order now. Thanks from Fern dBu is a measure of voltage, expressed as dB relative to 1
Hi Fern, You need to be a little careful with some of the Japanese conversions 'sometimes'. Ok, 0dBuV (for most people these days) is 1uV p.d. or loaded or terminated or however you or your generator
Perhaps you're thinking dBuV? dBu is a measure of voltage referenced to 0.775v, and is widely used in pro audio, where output stages are low impedance (typically 50-100 ohms) and intended to drive hi
In a radio context, the proper use of dBu is as a field strength value, where 0 dBu corresponds to a field strength of 1 microvolt/meter It appears that dBu and dBuV are used interchangeably in at le
"There are many reference levels tied to dB expressions of voltage and power, and all of them have their place as long as you understand what you are measuring or specifying." The field strength refe

behavior of the receiving antenna is part of the relationship between that field strength and the power and voltage at the receiver input. That makes any use of this field strength dBu to describe re
