// Given data
Ap1=1;// power gain
Ap2=10;// power gain
Ap3=100;// power gain
Ap4=1000;// power gain

// Calculations
Apdb1=10*log10(Ap1)// decibel power gain
Apdb2=10*log10(Ap2)// decibel power gain
Apdb3=10*log10(Ap3)// decibel power gain
Apdb4=10*log10(Ap4)// decibel power gain
disp("dB",Apdb1,"decibel power gain 1=")
disp("dB",Apdb2,"decibel power gain 2=")
disp("dB",Apdb3,"decibel power gain 3=")
disp("dB",Apdb4,"decibel power gain 4=")


// Result
// decibal power gain for a voltage gain of 1 is 0 dB
// decibal power gain for a voltage gain of 10 is 10 dB
// decibal power gain for a voltage gain of 100 is 20 dB
// decibal power gain for a voltage gain of 1000 is 30 dB
