- DB Convert to decibels.
- DB(X) converts the elements of X to decibel units
- across a 1 Ohm load. The elements of X are assumed
- to represent voltage measurements.
- DB(X,U) indicates the units of the elements in X,
- and may be 'power', 'voltage' or any portion of
- either unit string. If omitted, U='voltage'.
- DB(X,R) indicates a measurement reference load of
- R Ohms. If omitted, R=1 Ohm. Note that R is only
- needed for the conversion of voltage measurements,
- and is ignored if U is 'power'.
- DB(X,U,R) specifies both a unit string and a
- reference load.
- EXAMPLES:
- % Example 1:Convert 0.1 volt to dB (1 Ohm ref.)
- db(.1) % -20 dB
- % Example 2:Convert sqrt(.5)=0.7071 volts to dB (50 Ohm ref.)
- db(sqrt(.5),50) % -20 dB
- % Example 3:Convert 1 mW to dB
- db(1e-3,'power') % -30 dB
- See also abs, angle.
