Hi
in nearly all datasheet of power devices for wireless application (UMTS, WiMax...) it is declared a 3 dB output power insteadc a 1 dB output power.

If a device has a 100W output power @3dB what is his power output @1dB?


Tx
 

Power @ 3dB

if

3 = 10*lg(100Wt/BaseWt)

find the base power BaseWt and then use it in

1 = 10*lg(XWt/BaseWt) then derive XWt from there .
