FAQ

How do I convert microwatts to watts?

Divide the microwatt value by 1,000,000 or multiply by 0.000001. For example, 5,000 µW = 0.005 W.

What is the relationship between microwatts and dBm?

dBm is referenced to 1 milliwatt. So 1 µW = 0.001 mW = -30 dBm. This logarithmic scale is widely used in RF engineering.

How small is a microwatt?

A microwatt is one millionth of a watt. The power received by a mobile phone antenna from a cell tower is typically in the microwatt range.
