What is Signal-to-Noise Ratio?

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is a quantitative measure that expresses the level of a desired signal relative to the level of background noise, typically represented as a power ratio or in decibels. Expanded Explanation 1. Technical Function and Core Characteristics SNR compares signal power to noise power in a system, usually as a dimensionless ratio or in decibels (dB). Engineers calculate SNR to assess the detectability, integrity, and quality of signals in analog and digital domains. SNR

Counted facts

A dictionary definition doesn't say how often a term is actually used. This counts it across the graph -- articles that mention it, open source projects tagged with it, and the organizations tagged with it, listed here alongside the count. A term has no peer companies, and nothing here claims otherwise.
