We have collected a range of tools and calculators used within the energy and telecommunications sector, including both standard industry tools along with those specific to the Powertec Information Portal, such as compatibility checking and product identification tools.

watts to dbm calculator

dBm to Watts Calculator

dBm to watts and watts to dBm power conversion calculator.

dBm (decibel-milliwatts) is a unit of power that represents the power level relative to 1 milliwatt (mW), expressed in decibels. It is commonly used in wireless communication and RF engineering to express power levels, as it simplifies handling very large or small values, especially in signal transmission and reception contexts.

  • Positive dBm values indicate power levels above 1 mW.
  • Negative dBm values signify levels below 1 mW, useful for ...
coaxial cables running up a tower

Coaxial Cable Loss Calculator

Use this tool to estimate the dB loss occurring over your chosen length of coaxial cable. Simply select a cable, enter the length of cable, and frequency in MHz. You can optionally enter VSWR and Power In for additional calculations.

Accuracy of Results

This is a basic coaxial loss calculator with accuracy sufficient for most general RF applications. It relies on manufacturer-supplied k1 and k2 factors:

  • k1 - coefficient: characterising the loss in the conductors (takes into account the skin effect) ...
National Coverage Model showing 5G signal in Cairns

Australian National Coverage Model (NCM)

Powertec's Software Engineering Team have developed an interactive, high resolution coverage map for each mobile network operator in Australia.

The purpose of NCM is to provide Powertec staff, dealers, contractors, and enterprise clients an online tool that can quickly estimate the performance of any mobile network at any location in the country. Accessed by your web browser, NCM provides a number of layers which can be toggled to provide a visual representation of key performance metrics of a ...

mmWave band testing

Antenna Frequency Band Compatibility Checker

This tool will compare the individual frequency ranges supported by the antenna to the uplink and downlink frequencies used by each 3G/4G/5G band. If both the band's uplink and downlink frequencies are supported by the antenna, the tool will list the band.

Start typing the antenna's name or SKU into the box below, and then press Search to begin.
