Frequently asked questions
What is the source unit in this conversion?
The source unit is the deciwatt (dW). A deciwatt is 0.1 watt units.
What is the destination unit in this conversion?
The destination unit is the milliwatt (mW). A milliwatt is 0.001 watt units.
How do I convert deciwatts to milliwatts?
Multiply the deciwatt value by 100 to get milliwatt. For example, 1 dW × 100 = 100 mW.
Is the deciwatts to milliwatts conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined by fixed numeric relationships to the watt, so the conversion factor used here, 100, is exact.
Where is this conversion commonly used?
It is used when comparing power ratings expressed in deciwatts against equipment, engines, or specifications rated in milliwatts.
Can I convert milliwatts back to deciwatts?
Yes. Multiply the milliwatt value by 0.01 to get deciwatt.

About this conversion
This page converts deciwatts (dW) into milliwatts (mW), two units used to describe power, the rate at which energy is transferred or work is done.
A deciwatt is 0.1 watt units.
A milliwatt is 0.001 watt units.
The formula is mW = dW × 100, derived from each unit's fixed relationship to the watt, the SI unit of power.
Because both units are defined by exact numeric relationships to the watt, this conversion is exact rather than approximate.
