What Does SNF Stand For?
SNF stands for SYstem Noise Figure
SNF, or System Noise Figure, is a critical parameter in telecommunications and electronics that quantifies the degradation of signal-to-noise ratio as it passes through a system. It is defined as the ratio of the input signal-to-noise ratio to the output signal-to-noise ratio, typically expressed in decibels (dB). A lower SNF indicates a better system performance in terms of noise added by components such as amplifiers and filters, making it an essential metric for evaluating the overall efficiency and effectiveness of signal processing systems.
