The symbol is an abbreviation for decibels relative to one milliwatt, where one milliwatt (1 mW) equals 1/1000 of a watt (0.001 W or 10 -3 W). This unit is commonly used in test laboratories. The dBm increment is based on the decibel, a logarithm ic measure of relative power. Suppose a signal has a power level of P mW. Then the signal strength in dBm, symbolized S dBm, is: S dBm = 10 log 10 P. A 1-mW signal has a level of 0 dBm. Signals weaker than 1 mW have negative dBm values; signals stronger than 1 mW have positive dBm values.
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service of the United States of America. Over two dozen cities and towns claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day.
