Upgrading your antenna, even just a small increment in dBm, makes a HUGE impact on the range of your device:
|
dBm 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
Watts 1.0 mW 1.3 mW 1.6 mW 2.0 mW 2.5 mW 3.2 mW 4.0 mW 5.0 mW 6.0 mW 8.0 mW 10.0 mW 13.0 mW 16.0 mW 20.0 mW 25.0 mW 32.0 mW |
dBm 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 |
Watts 40.0 mW 50.0 mW 63.0 mW 79.0 mW 100.0 mW 126.0 mW 158.0 mW 200.0 mW 250.0 mW 316.0 mW 398.0 mW 500.0 mW 630.0 mW 800.0 mW 1.0 W 1.3 W |
dBm 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 |
Watts 1.6 W 2.0 W 2.5 W 3.2 W 4.0 W 5.0 W 6.3 W 8.0 W 10.0 W 13.0 W 16.0 W 20.0 W 25.0 W 32.0 W 40.0 W 50.0 W |
dbm is logarithmic and mw is linear.
