The terms “decibel” and “neper” were adopted about 1929; see W. H. Martin, “Decibel—the name for the transmission unit,” Bell System Technical J., v. 8, 1929, p. 1-2. A decibel, one tenth of a bel, is a unit in communication engineering, acoustics, and allied fields. This unit is defined by the statement that two amounts of power, ${P_1},{P_2}$, differ by one transmission unit when they are in the ratio of ${10^{.1}}$, and any two amounts of power differ by $N$ transmission units when they are in the ratio ${10^{N(.1)}}$ or $N = 10\log ({P_1}/{P_2})$. The unit bel was derived from the name of Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922). The neper, derived from the name of John Napier or Neper (1550-1617), is also a transmission unit with basic power ratio ${e^2}$, so that here ${e^{2x}} = {P_1}/{P_2}$ or $x = .5\ln ({P_1}/{P_2})$.
