Calculated Current

Calculated current is the current determined from the calibration. This document describes how you should calculate the current correctly.

Given calibration information

Frequency (MHz)	Current (mA)	Forward Power (dBm)
201,973	137	35,1

Question: What is the calculated current if the forward power is 35,4 dBm at the same frequency?

Answer: 141,8144768

The calculation

First you calculate the dB difference in power.

$35,4-35,1=0,3dB$

Note: the unit is dB not dBm
