  2. Signal-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

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

    An SNR less than 5 means less than 100% certainty in identifying image details. [ 5 ] [ 10 ] Yet another alternative, very specific, and distinct definition of SNR is employed to characterize sensitivity of imaging systems; see Signal-to-noise ratio (imaging) .

  3. Dynamic range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range

    Dynamic range (abbreviated DR, DNR, [1] or DYR [2]) is the ratio between the largest and smallest measurable values of a specific quantity. It is often used in the context of signals, like sound and light.

  4. Decibel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel

    The decibel originates from methods used to quantify signal loss in telegraph and telephone circuits. Until the mid-1920s, the unit for loss was miles of standard cable (MSC). 1 MSC corresponded to the loss of power over one mile (approximately 1.6 km) of standard telephone cable at a frequency of 5000 radians per second (795.8 Hz), and matched closely the smallest attenuation detectable to a ...

  5. Octave (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave_(electronics)

    A frequency ratio expressed in octaves is the base-2 logarithm (binary logarithm) of the ratio: = ⁡ An amplifier or filter may be stated to have a frequency response of ±6 dB per octave over a particular frequency range, which signifies that the power gain changes by ±6 decibels (a factor of 4 in power), when the frequency changes by a factor of 2.

  6. Signal strength in telecommunications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_strength_in...

    The electric field strength at a specific point can be determined from the power delivered to the transmitting antenna, its geometry and radiation resistance. Consider the case of a center-fed half-wave dipole antenna in free space, where the total length L is equal to one half wavelength (λ/2).

    Also in 2016, Quizlet launched "Quizlet Live", a real-time online matching game where teams compete to answer all 12 questions correctly without an incorrect answer along the way. [15] In 2017, Quizlet created a premium offering called "Quizlet Go" (later renamed "Quizlet Plus"), with additional features available for paid subscribers.

  8. Rule of 72: What it is and how to use it - AOL

    www.aol.com/finance/rule-72-184255797.html

    The natural log of 2 is 0.693147, so when you solve for t using those natural logarithms, you get t = 0.693147/r.. The actual results aren’t round numbers and are closer to 69.3, but 72 easily ...

  9. Gain (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain_(electronics)

    In the cases above, gain will be a dimensionless quantity, as it is the ratio of like units (decibels are not used as units, but rather as a method of indicating a logarithmic relationship). In the bipolar transistor example, it is the ratio of the output current to the input current, both measured in amperes .
