Why is EB N0 used instead of SNR?
Its main advantage is that the actual bandwidth is taken out of the equation, since N0 is simply the noise power in a 1 Hz bandwidth. This allows comparing different modulation schemes without having to worry about their spectral properties. EbN0=SNBRb.
How is BER related to SNR?
BER is a key parameter that used for assessing systems that transmit signal data from one location to another. SNR is well known measure of how the signal and noise power compare against each other. It directly affects the probability of error performance of a system.
What unit is eb no?
Unit of Eb is: Joules [J], Watts/Hz [W/Hz] or Watts * s [Ws]. All three units express the very same metric.. What is it? Eb/No is the ratio of the Energy per Bit divided by the noise power density.
