    Basically,the Decibel (dB) is a logarithmic unit which is used to express the gain of audio frequency amplifiers. This is so because the response of a human ear to the sound intensity exhibits logarithmic nature.

    Apart from this, dBm is a unit which is frequently used in power measurement. dBm refers to the dB value which is estimated by assumption of a reference whose value is equal to 1mW.
