Di combined level

—

All levels must use the same reference, weighting and observation location. Coherent sources need phase information.

Formula

Use L = 10log₁₀[Σ10^(Lᵢ/10)]. Lᵢ na independent incoherent levels for dB, with di same reference, weighting and location. Di combined level L dey use di same basis.

Add independent incoherent levels wey you measure on di same basis.

Example wey show the calculation

Levels wey dey independent (dB)
60, 60
Di combined level
63.0102999566 dB

Where e fit work and limits

All levels must use the same reference, weighting and observation location. Coherent sources need phase information.

We check inputs for missing values and allowed ranges. Result wey pass the finite numeric range no go show. Rounding affect wetin display, while calculation use the model numeric precision.

Check your units and assumptions before you rely on result. Changing label no convert currency or physical unit.
