When the reference resistance is less than 50Ω, it is
possible to calculate the watt value. If the reference
resistance is greater than 50Ω then this step can be
ignored.
To calculate the power, press the

dBm
Measure dB
Background
dB is defined as [dBm−dBmref]. When the dB
measurement is activated, the GDM-8261A calculates the
dBm using the reading at the first moment and stores it
as dBmref.
Activate dB
Press the Shift key followed by the
Hz/P key. The 1st display shows dB,
and the 2nd display shows the
current Voltage reading.
