  2. Figure of merit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_merit

    Audio amplifier figures of merit such as gain or efficiency; Battery life of a laptop computer [4] Calories per serving; Clock rate of a CPU is often given as a figure of merit, but is of limited use in comparing between different architectures. FLOPS may be a better figure, though these too are not completely representative of the performance ...

  8. Noise figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_figure

    Noise figure (NF) and noise factor (F) are figures of merit that indicate degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that is caused by components in a signal chain.These figures of merit are used to evaluate the performance of an amplifier or a radio receiver, with lower values indicating better performance.

    i want to know some definitions about figure of merit in communication --- There are some issues with the name figure of merit, a more conventional term would be simply metric. Perhaps this article should refer to the definition of metric instead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.165.84 07:55, 16 August 2009 (UTC) See Metric
