  2. Signal-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio

    The SNR values are given for the rectangular region on the forehead. The plots at the bottom show the signal intensity in the indicated row of the image (red: original signal, blue: with noise). Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR or S/N) is a measure used in science and engineering that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background ...

  3. Carrier-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-to-noise_ratio

    In telecommunications, the carrier-to-noise ratio, often written CNR or C/N, is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a modulated signal. The term is used to distinguish the CNR of the radio frequency passband signal from the SNR of an analog base band message signal after demodulation. For example, with FM radio, the strength of the 100 MHz ...

  4. Minimum detectable signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_detectable_signal

    This required difference in power levels of the signal and the noise floor is known as the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). To establish the minimum detectable signal (MDS) of a receiver we require several factors to be known. Required signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) Detection bandwidth (BW) Temperature T 0 of the receiver system; Receiver noise figure ...

    can be seen as a normalized measure of the energy per symbol to noise power spectral density (/): = where is the energy per symbol in joules and ρ is the nominal spectral efficiency in (bits/s)/Hz. [2]

  6. 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.

  7. Sensitivity (electronics) - Wikipedia

    It also provides multiple definitions relevant to sensors among which 1: "(measuring devices) The ratio of the magnitude of its response to the magnitude of the quantity measured.” and 2: "(radio receiver or similar device) Taken as the minimum input signal required to produce a specified output signal having a specified signal-to-noise ratio

  8. Signal-to-noise ratio (imaging) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio...

    Traditionally, SNR is defined to be the ratio of the average signal value to the standard deviation of the signal : [2] [3] = when the signal is an optical intensity, or as the square of this value if the signal and noise are viewed as amplitudes (field quantities).

  9. Signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-interference...

    In information theory and telecommunication engineering, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR [1]) (also known as the signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SNIR) [2]) is a quantity used to give theoretical upper bounds on channel capacity (or the rate of information transfer) in wireless communication systems such as networks.
