37 dBm in watts (50Ω) = 5.01 W
Worked conversion for 37 dBm into linear power and the equivalent RF voltage at a 50Ω impedance.
37 dBm equals 5.01 W 7 dBW · 15.8 V RMS @ 50Ω
| Power level | 37 dBm |
| dBW (= dBm − 30) | 7 dBW |
| Power in milliwatts | 5012 mW |
| Power in watts | 5.012 W |
| Vrms @ 50Ω (sine) | 15.8 V |
| Vpp @ 50Ω (sine) | 44.8 V |
dBm is power referenced to 1 mW, so 0 dBm = 1 mW. Every +3 dB ≈ ×2 power and +10 dB = ×10 power. The voltage figures assume a sine wave dissipating this average power into a purely resistive 50Ω load.
