Converting Decibels (Db) to Signal to Noise (S/N)

Hi All

I am abit stuck on converting a number in decibels (Db) to signal/noise
ratio.

I know the equation for converting into DB: -

SN (Db) = 10 Log [Signal Power / Noise Power]

The way which I have managed to conver the Decibel to S/N is using the
following formula: -

Inverse Log [XXXX db / 10]

So using the above formula, 30 Db will work out to be 1000 s/n which is
correct.

The problem is, explaining how I got this formula. Any ideas or better ways
of working this out would be appreciated.

Regards

Karl
