Homework Statement


The current input of a system is 250mA. If the current ratio of the system is 15dB , determine (i) the current output and (ii) the current ratio expressed in nepers

Homework Equations



[itex]\alpha[/itex][dB]=20log[itex]_{10}[/itex](I[itex]_{out}[/itex]/I[itex]_{in}[/itex])

The Attempt at a Solution



current ratio [itex]\alpha[/itex]=15dB, Iin=250mA=0.25A

I[itex]_{out}[/itex]=I[itex]_{in}[/itex]x10[itex]^\frac{\alpha [dB]}{20}[/itex]==0.25x100.75

Iout=0.25x5.623=1.406A

1 Np ≡ 20 / ln(10) = 8.685889638 dB

[itex]\alpha[/itex][Np]=[itex]\alpha[/itex][dB]/8.686=1.727Np

Was there a question associate with this? Your calculation of the output current and Neper value look fine.
