DBM - Volts - Watts

This document provides a conversion chart between decibel-milliwatts (dBm), voltage levels (V), and power levels (W, mW, μW, etc.) for a 50-ohm system. It shows that higher dBm levels correspond to higher voltages and power levels. As dBm decreases, the voltage and power levels also decrease progressively down to picowatts and nanovolts at very low dBm levels below -100 dBm. The chart provides a reference to quantitatively relate signal power to voltage and vice versa for signals in a 50-ohm system.
