Convert microwatt to deciwatt
Please provide values below to convert microwatt [µW] to deciwatt [dW], or Convert deciwatt to microwatt.
1 µW = 1e-05 dW. To convert microwatt to deciwatt, multiply the value by 1e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dW = 100000 µW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 µW = 1e-05 dW
- 1 dW = 100000 µW
- 10 µW = 0.0001 dW
- 100 µW = 0.001 dW
How to Convert Microwatt to Deciwatt
1 µW = 1e-05 dW
Example: convert 15 µW to dW:
15 µW = 15 × 1e-05 dW = 0.00015 dW

Microwatt
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt, used to measure very small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The microwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to provide standardized units for small quantities of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, gaining prominence with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microwatts are used in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to quantify low power levels in devices, sensors, and circuits.
Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 microwatt in deciwatt?
1 microwatt (µW) = 1e-05 deciwatt (dW).
How do you convert microwatt to deciwatt?
Multiply the microwatt value by 1e-05. For example, 25 µW × 1e-05 = 0.00025 dW.
What is 10 microwatt in deciwatt?
10 µW = 0.0001 dW.
Which unit is larger, the microwatt or the deciwatt?
The deciwatt is the larger unit: 1 µW equals only 1e-05 dW.
