| It should also be mentioned that often dB ratios are expressed using a third letter (or letters), such as dBm. The third letter is a reference level for the log operation. In our dBm example, dBm is used to define dB levels in a 50 Ohm RF system, using a 1 milliwatt reference level. | It should also be mentioned that often dB ratios are expressed using a third letter (or letters), such as dBm.
