Net Power defined as Forward Power minus the Reflected Power This document describes how you should calculate the Net power correctly.

Given information
Frequency (MHz) Forward Power (dBm) Reflected Power (dBm)
201,973 50 30

Question: What is the Net Power?

Answer: 141,8144768 mA

The calculation

First you calculate the dB difference in power.

  • Note: the unit is dB not dBm


Calculate the calibrated current to dBmA so we can add the value.


So after the addition of the power difference the new value is 43,03441134 dBmA.

Calculate this back to mA:
