importance conversion for the radar system

Converting dBW to dBm and Vice Versa

dBm measures power relative to 1 milliwatt, while dBW measures power relative to 1 watt.
So to convert between the two, you have these equations:

dBm = dBW + 30

or

dBW = dBm - 30

Converting Radar Power in Watts to Decibels

dBW = 10 x log₁₀(Power_Watts)

dBW: Transmitter power output in decibels.Power_Watts: Transmitter power output in watts.

EXAMPLE: What is the dBW of a 1 megawatt radar?

10 x log₁₀(1,000,000) = 60 dB

Converting Radar Power in Decibels to Watts

Power_Watts = 10^{(Decibels/10)}

Power_Watts: Transmitter power output in watts.
Decibels: Transmitter power output in decibels.

EXAMPLE: What is the power in watts of a 100 dBw radar?

10^(100/10) = 10,000,000,000 watts.

Converting Radar Cross Section in Square Meters to Decibels

dBsm = 10 x log₁₀(RCS/1m²)

dBsm: Radar Cross Section of target in decibels.
RCS: Radar Cross Section of target in square meters.

EXAMPLE: What is the dBsm of a stealth fighter with a RCS of 0.01 m²?

10 x log₁₀(0.01/1m²) = -20 dBsm

Converting Radar Cross Section in Decibels to Square Meters

RCS = 10^{(Decibels/10)}

RCS: Radar Cross Section of target in square meters.
Decibels: Radar Cross Section of target in decibels.

EXAMPLE: What is the RCS in square meters of an aircraft with a RCS of 5 dB?

10^(5/10) = 3.16 m2

Converting Antenna Gain into Decibels Relative to Isotropic (dBi)

dBi = 10 x log₁₀(Gain/1)

Tutorial on EasyEDA desktop software for PCB and schematic design

In this article, I am going to write a tutorial on how to use EasyEDA desktop application for creating a schematic and for PCB design. One of best advantage of this software is that you can create design offline and can automatically synchronize your design with your online EasyEDA account. It can be used for circuits simulation, PCB deign and electronics circuits design. You can download EasyEDA desktop application by clicking on following link and it will work on windows 7 or its greater version. They are also releasing soon offline application OSX and Linux users. So keep visiting their website for more information. https://easyeda.com/page/download So let’s start and see how to design a schematic and PCB using EasyEDA offline desktop application. So first of all lets see how to create a schema...
