Examples
A weak signal with signal strength of S2 corresponds to received power of -115 dBm or 0.40 microvolts in 50 ohms on HF.
A strong signal with signal strength of S8 corresponds to received power of -79 dBm or 25 microvolts in 50 ohms on HF.
Some signal generators are calibrated in dB above 1uV and have an output in emf. For example to set an HF receiver's S-reading to S9 set the signal generator output to 34 dB above 1uV
| S-reading | HF | Signal Generator emf | |
|---|---|---|---|
| μV (50Ω) | dBm | dB above 1uV | |
| S9+10dB | 160.0 | -63 | 44 |
| S9 | 50.2 | -73 | 34 |
| S8 | 25.1 | -79 | 28 |
| S7 | 12.6 | -85 | 22 |
| S6 | 6.3 | -91 | 16 |
| S5 | 3.2 | -97 | 10 |
| S4 | 1.6 | -103 | 4 |
| S3 | 0.8 | -109 | -2 |
| S2 | 0.4 | -115 | -8 |
| S1 | 0.2 | -121 | -14 |

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
