  Neper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A neper (Symbol: Np) is a unit of ratio.
The neper is often used to express voltage and current ratios, whereas the decibel was used in early times to express power ratios.
Neper is used more with voltage ratios (linear field strength) than with power ratios (squared power strength).

 Neper (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Egyptian mythology, Neper (also spelt Nepra) was an androgenous deification (the feminine form of his name is Nepit) of grain, a valuable commodity in ancient Egypt, which faced starvation without it.
Naturally, as lord of the mouth, Neper's mother was identified as Renenutet, who gave out the Ren, a person's true name, and who was also identified as source of nourishment.
Once the myth of the Legend of Osiris and Isis had begun to be told, since Osiris was now a life-death-rebirth deity, in common with many cultures, his story was associated with the annual harvest, and the annual disappearance of any visible life in the crop.

The maximum amplification of incoming speech is about 2.3 neper (20 db) and this amplification can be regulated by means of a potentiometer, the knob of which is placed in the bottom right hand corner of the set.
For outgoing speech the amplification is usually adjusted so that zero level is obtained at the near end of the line.
In this manner the amplification can be regulated 0.8 neper (7 db) in steps of 0.2 neper (1.75 db).

In the case of the quantity logarithmic decay (or gain), also sometimes called decrement, and sometimes called level, a similar choice of defining equation exists, leading to a corresponding choice between the coherent derived units -the neper or the bel.
We argue that for the quantity logarithmic decay the most logical choice of defining equations is linked to that of the radian, and is that which leads to the neper as the corresponding coherent derived unit.
However, it is important part of the SI to establish in a formal sense the equations defining physical quantities, and the corresponding coherent derived units.
