dB to Gain Calculator

This tool converts a dB (deciBel) value to:

  • Linear Power Gain
  • Linear Voltage Gain

Gain to dB

Formula

Power gain = 10XdB/10

Voltage gain = 10XdB/20

Note that Gain is a linear value.

If the input and output power are Pin and Pout respectively, the power gain ratio is Pout/Pin

If the input and output power are Vin and Vout respectively, the voltage gain ratio is Vout/Vin
