I have a dBW value and dBW I understand to normally be given as representing a RMS Power (however this is not specificically ever stated and I am told its just assumed?)

from dBW to Watts = 10^(dBW/10) This then gives RMS power in Watts

At what point do I convert this from a RMS to a peak value:

1. Multiply RMS Power in Watts by sqrt(2) before using Voltage = sqrt(Power*50)
2. Or multiply the result from Voltage = sqrt(Power*50) by sqrt(2)

because they give two different values...

I have a dBW value and dBW I understand to normally be given as representing a RMS Power (however this is not specificically ever stated and I am told its just assumed?)

from dBW to Watts = \$10^{\frac{dBW}{10}}\$. This then gives RMS power in Watts

At what point do I convert this from a RMS to a peak value?

1. Multiply RMS Power in Watts by \$\sqrt{2}\$ before using \$V = \sqrt{P\cdot 50}\$
2. Or multiply the result from \$V = \sqrt{P\cdot 50}\$ by \$\sqrt{2}\$
