self_spectra_to_dB {SeaSondeR} | R Documentation |
Convert Self-Spectra Power to dB
Description
This function converts self-spectra power values from a linear scale to decibels (dB). The transformation considers the receiver gain to adjust the power measurements accordingly.
Usage
self_spectra_to_dB(spectrum_values, receiver_gain)
Arguments
spectrum_values |
A numeric vector. The power values in linear scale. |
receiver_gain |
A numeric scalar. The receiver gain in decibels (dB). |
Details
The conversion follows the equation:
dB = 10 \log_{10}(|P|) - G
where:
\( dB \) is the power in decibels,
\( P \) is the self-spectra power in linear scale,
\( G \) is the receiver gain in decibels.
Absolute values of power are used to ensure valid logarithmic calculations.
Value
A numeric vector of power values in decibels (dB).
