> dB=10*log(G), G = gain, make sure you use log base 10 Note that this is power gain. Power gain is proportional to the square of the voltage gain. Therefore an incremental increase in voltage gain of 10 increases the output signal by 20dB. ******************************************************************** Olin Lathrop, embedded systems consultant in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, olin@embedinc.com, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
