> Can you please help me translation from mW to db ? You cannot. "dB" is without a reference. Is only a relative measurement. You can, however, convert "dB" into some factor. What we were talking about was "dBm". Here we use a reference point of one milliwatt. Now you can convert dBm to milliwatt. Another example of a "made absolute by using a reference" logarithmic scale is the gain of antennas. It's usually described in dBi or dBd. The first takes the (hypothetical) isotropical antenna, the second an dipol as reference.
