Bend Attenuation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bend Attenuation = 10*log10(Total Power/Small Power)
α_b = 10*log10(P_s/P_b)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

log10 - The common logarithm, also known as the base-10 logarithm or the decimal logarithm, is a mathematical function that is the inverse of the exponential function., log10(Number)

Variables Used

Bend Attenuation - (Measured in Decibel per Meter) - Bend Attenuation refers to the loss of signal strength or optical power that occurs when light propagating through the fiber encounters a curve or bend.
Total Power - (Measured in Watt) - Total Power is the measurement of all the power transmitted through the fiber.
Small Power - (Measured in Watt) - Small Power is measurement of power transmitted in less quantity by an optic fiber.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
