| Quantity: |
field quantity ratio (level difference)
|
| Concept definition: |
The difference between two levels of field quantities with the same reference F0. The level of a field quantity is LF = ln (F/F0), where F and F0 represent two field quantities of the same kind, F0 being a reference quantity.
1 Np is the level of a field quantity when ln (F/F0) = 1, i.e. F/F0 = e.
1 dB = 10-1 B (exactly) = 1,151 293 x 10-1Np (approximately). |

| Quantity: |
level difference of two power quantities
|
| Concept definition: |
The difference between two levels of power quantities with the same reference P0. The level of a power quantity is LP = (1/2) ln (P/P0), where P and P0 represent two power quantities of the same kind, P0 being a reference quantity.
1 dB = 10-1 B (exactly) = 1,151 293 x 10-1Np (approximately). |
