What is the output peak envelope power from a transmitter as measured on an oscilloscope showing 200 volts peak-to-peak across a 50-ohm load resistor?
• Relationship between peak-to-peak voltage and RMS voltage for a sine wave • Power formula using RMS voltage and resistance: P = V² / R • Difference between peak, peak-to-peak, and RMS values
• How do you convert a peak-to-peak voltage reading on an oscilloscope into RMS voltage for a sine wave? • Once you have RMS voltage, how do you calculate power when the load resistance is known? • Are you sure you are using peak-to-peak voltage correctly in the power formula, or do you need to convert it first?
• Confirm the correct conversion factor from peak-to-peak to RMS for a sinusoidal waveform • Use the correct formula P = V² / R with RMS voltage, not peak or peak-to-peak directly • Double-check your math with units: volts² / ohms should give watts
