ELECTRONICS: ELECTRONICS I
DECIBEL NOTATION

Decibel notation (dB) is used to construct Bode Plots (discussed later on). To convert gain to decibel notation:

Power Gain, GdB = 10 log G
Current Gain, AidB = 20 log |Ai|
Voltage Gain, AvdB = 20 log |Av|

Later on, there will be Bode Plots, but for now, just know that the half power frequency (also known as break frequency) is when the gain drops 3.01 dB.
