3 dB of gain = +3 dB = doubles signal strength (Let’s say, the base is P. So 10*log10(P/P) = 10*log101 = 0 dB and 10*log10(2P/P) = 10*log10(2) = 3dB -> double signal)
In terms of dBm, an increase of 3 dBm represents a doubling of the power. This is due to the logarithmic nature of the decibel scale, where:
An increase of 10 dB means a tenfold increase in power.
An increase of 3 dB means approximately a doubling of power.
Given the current power level is 10 dBm:
Doubling the power (an increase of 3 dBm) would result in
10
dBm
+
3
dBm
=
13
dBm
10 dBm+3 dBm=13 dBm.
If the maximum power level assignment for global Transmit Power Control (TPC) for 802.11a/n/ac is configured to 10 dBm, then doubling the transmit power would require an increase of 3 dBm. A 3 dBm increase represents a doubling of the power level, so a power level of 13 dBm would effectively double the transmit power. However, it's important to note that TPC settings can vary depending on the specific implementation and regulatory requirements, so the actual power levels available may be different in different situations.
