Si le gain total de l'installation d'un radioamateur augmente de 3 dB, la puissance apparente rayonnée :

  1. Ademeure la même
  2. Bdiminue de moitié
  3. Cest doublée
  4. Ddiminue de 3 watts

Correct answer: C — est doublée. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

A 3 dB increase in gain means the signal power has doubled because the decibel scale is logarithmic, where every 3 dB step represents a multiplication of power by two. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
