A. Units

The most common measurement units in microwave engineering are decibels (dB) and decibel-related units. Most microwave components are commonly specified using powers, the level of which varies from 10-13–104 W. The change in the power level is found to be very large. The power change becomes arithmetic when expressed using decibels. In addition, a power level measured in decibels can be conveniently plotted on a graph. Also, by expressing power levels in decibels, the multiplication ...
