A unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt

Usage examples of milliwatt.

Even a milliwatt can have a high intensity if it is focused on a small enough area.

Because we know the power of the beam and the area of the beam, we can easily calculate the power per unit area in the beam: 1 milliwatt divided by 1 millimeter times 1 millimeter .

Just find ten million friends who all have 1 milliwatt supermarket lasers.

As you ordered last Tuesday, we tripled the power to the outer Barrier, and jiggered it to block all radiation and trace any signal over a milliwatt, in or out.

They watched as I lit a point with a milliwatt laser, just enough to be seen by someone looking hard.

The transmitters run a few milliwatts with an extreme range of a couple of kilometres.

The battery will permit the transmitter to blare forth with 35 milliwatts of r-f power on 403 mHz.

While the base stations cranked out about five hundred watts, the mobile stations were allowed less than seven, and the battery-powered hand-held sets that everyone likes to use were three hundred milliwatts, and even with a huge parabolic dish receiving antenna, the signals gathered were like whispers.

A few microwatts so that the gyros never slow down, milliwatts for instrument readouts and for controls-but the widget itself uses none.

It should have a minimum of 9 transistors and 100 milliwatts, although walkie-talkies can go as high as 5 watts and broadcast over 2 miles.

Seriously, the beam density is only twenty-three milliwatts per square centimeter at the center of the rectenna farm.

I figure if we keep it to a couple of milliwatts, it will take the edge off the cold without cooking us.
