How do you calculate SNR of a noisy signal?
So, if your SNR measurements are already in decibel form, then you can subtract the noise quantity from the desired signal: SNR = S - N. This is because when you subtract logarithms, it is the equivalent of dividing normal numbers. Also, the difference in the numbers equals the SNR.
What happens if noise is added to a signal?
Noise is an unwanted signal which interferes with the original message signal and corrupts the parameters of the message signal. This alteration in the communication process, leads to the message getting altered. It is most likely to be entered at the channel or the receiver.
How does the noise effect the SNR?
When SNR increases, the channel's data throughput also increases. This means that for a given signal level, an increase in noise will decrease the data throughput. The higher the noise level, the less space there is for the actual data that is being transmitted on the channel.
