For the executive department in the Philippines, see
Department of Budget and Management. dBm is an abbreviation for the power ratio in
decibel (dB) of the measured power referenced to one
milliwatt (mW). It is used in radio, microwave and fiber optic networks as a convenient measure of absolute
power because of its capability to express both very large and very small values in a short form. dBm (or dBmW) and dBW are independent of impedance (as opposed to
dBV which is dependent, for example).
