> when I think they mean dBmw (an absolute measurement). I think you may mean dBm or dBmW here. 0dBm == 1mW. The SI symbol for Watt is ‘W’ not ‘w’. At 2.4GHz, free space path loss is -41dB at 1m, so even a 20dBm radio and a 20dBi directional antenna (and assuming 0dB of insertion loss), the signal strength at 1m is -1dBm, or about 0.79 mW. At 3m, the free space path loss is nearly -50dB. Now the signal from the setup above is at -10dBm, or 0.1mW. https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10417871820142/2018%2BRF%2BRadiation%2BExposure%2BLimits%20(1).pdf https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10417871820142/2018%2BRF%2BRadi...
