Combining ±% with ±dB in measurement uncertainty

125 Views Asked by At

Firstly apologies if this is not the correct place to post this but wasn't sure which site would be good to ask regarding about measurement uncertainty calculation.

I am trying to calculate the combined measurement uncertainty, however the uncertainties I want to combine are using different scales:

Carrier level uncertainty: ±0.5dB (logarithmic)

Modulation uncertainty: ±5% (linear)

Converting either from one format to another will not give me a simple ±value in the other format

What is the best way to combine these uncertainties
