What is the difference in dBm when an AP power increases from 25 mW to 100mW?
A. 75dBm
B. 150dBm
C. 6dBm
D. 125dBm
Correct Answer: C
Power (in dB) = 10 * log10 (Signal/Reference)
10*log(100) - 10*log(25) = 20dbm - 14dbm = 6dbm
OR the easiest calculation is using the laws of 3s covered in the book. A value of 3dB means that the power value of interest is double the reference value.
25x2=50 that's 3db gain 50x2=100, that's another 3db. 3+3=6db
