What is dB (Decibel)?

20 times the log to the base 10 of the ratio of two voltages. Every 20dBs correspond to a voltage ratio of 10, every 10 dBs to voltage ratio of 3.162. For instance, a CMR of 120 dB provides voltage noise rejection of 1,000,000/1. An NMR of 70dB provides voltage noise rejection of 3,162/1.
