A 6db change in signal level is one bit position in a binary value -- 2 times the voltage (note that this is 4x the power if driven into the same load resistance, which is why +3db is twice the perceived power). If you have a 10 bit converter you can resolve 10 double-ings of voltage or 60 db.

Hi MS, Thanks for all your help. Now I'm trying to learn to use TOSSIM while a can't use motes at Lab. On Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 3:07 AM, Michael Schippling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A 6db change in signal level is one bit position in a binary value -- 2 times the voltage (note that this is 4x

Dear MS Thanks for you grat help. I just can't understood about the range at the end of your message. Clould you give-me more details? Thanks for all PS: Sorry for my bad english RP On Sun, Apr 20, 2008 at 6:06 PM, Michael Schippling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: SPL is measured as an average

Hi dear all I am working on an acoustic project within tinyos-2.x environment. The goal of the project is to take a view of the distribution of SPL (Sound Pressure Level) in an ambience. I took just a few of steps on that, and a this time I'm looking for documentation about how to take datas

SPL is measured as an average of the instantaneous values you get from, for instance, a microphone. What you need to do is sample the mic at some reasonable rate (making some assumptions about the frequency range you are interested in). In T1 there is a HighFrequencySampling demo app that sorta
