Note that in the definition above it is the ratio between input and output power that is used. To find the corresponding relationship between voltages, the following is used. P = U2/R This yields: Pout = (Uout)2/Rout Pin = (Uin)2/Rin inserting this in (1) yields: L = 10 log (Uin/Uout)2 or L = 20 log (Uin/Uout) (dB) (dB)
Note that for the above to be true, R out must be equal to Rin.

@hyr
An amplifier delivers 2 W when 10 mW is fed to the input. Calculate the gain of the amplifier. G = 10 log (2000/10) = 23 dB
@hyr!
An amplifier with equal input and output impedance is connected to a voltage source thus obtaining 500 mV at the input. The voltage at the output is measured at 1 V. Calculate the gain of the amplifier. G = 20 log (1000/500) = 6 dB
OVERALL LOSS
The overall loss (or gain) of a system (eg. a telephone system) is obtained by adding the individual loss/gain figures for the components of the system (eg. telephone lines, switch).

Gain: G = 6 dB
Line loss: L2 = 10 dB

Different reference levels can be used: Power: Pref = 1 W Pref = 1 mW Voltage: Uref = 775 mV Uref = 1 V Lp = 10 log (P/1) Lp = 10 log (P/10 -3) dBW dBm
The reason why a voltage level of 775 mV is used as a reference is that when fed to a resistance of 600 , it causes a power dissipation of 1 mW. This means that the power level in dBm equals the voltage levels in dBU measured across a 600 resistance.
