Concept:

The gain in dB is defined as:

Power in dBm is expressed as:

P = Power to be expressed in dBm

Calculation:

Given

Pin = 1 μW

P(dB) = 30 dB 

Putting these values in the above equation, we get:

Taking Antilog on both sides, we get:

Pout = 1 mW

Convert output power to dBm

P(dBm) = 10log10(1)

P(dBm) = 0 dB
