here's how it works out with 100W from 0.5 dB. to 3.0 db. of

power loss from a loss controlled line @ 50 ohms feeding a

matched, purely resistive (load) antenna.


100W - 0.5 dB. = 89.10W

100W - 1.0 dB. = 79.40W

100W - 1.5 dB. = 70.80W

100W - 2.0 dB. = 63.10W

100W - 2.5 dB. = 56.20W

100W - 3.0 dB. = 50.10W


dB. loss = 10 log (Wout ÷ 100W)
