What is the received signal-to-noise ratio?
SNR is defined as the ratio of signal power to the noise power, often expressed in decibels. A ratio higher than 1:1 (greater than 0 dB) indicates more signal than noise.
What is a good SNR in ham radio?
Generally, a signal with an SNR value of 20 dB or more is recommended for data networks where as an SNR value of 25 dB or more is recommended for networks that use voice applications. Learn more about Signal-to-Noise Ratio.
How do you convert signal-to-noise ratio to dB?
Signal-to-noise ratio is commonly expressed as a factor such as 20 to 1, 30 to 1, etc. Signal-to-noise ratio is also frequently stated in decibels (dB). The formula for calculating a signal-to-noise ratio in dB is: SNR = 20 x log (Signal/Noise).
