Re: +7dB from BFO to diode ring mixer?



There are various dBx measures of real signal characteristics. The most common ones that I know of are dBm (dB over 1mW), dBV (dB over 1V, presumably ignoring impedance and therefore really just a fancy-pants amplitude measure) and dBc (dB under carrier, very important stuff to measure phase noise in an oscillator or transmitter).
======================================
RF power limitations (power into antenna) for the UK amateur radio licences are expressed in dBW 26 dBW equals 400 Watts
15 dBW equals 32 Watts etc .
