Decibel (dBV) accuracy specifications
Table 5-17 Decibel specifications
dB base Reference Default reference
1 mW (dBm) 1 Ω to 9999 Ω 50 Ω
1 V (dBV) 1 V 1 V
Notes for decibel specifications:
1 The reading of dBm is indicated in decibels of power above or below 1 mW, or decibels of voltage above or below 1 V. The
formula is calculated according to the voltage measurement and specified reference impedance. Its accuracy is
depended on the accuracy of the voltage measurement. See Ta b l e 5 - 1 8.
2 Auto-ranging mode is used.
3 The bandwidth is according to voltage measurements.
