What Does SNR Stand For?

SNR stands for Signal To Noise Ratio

SNR, or Signal To Noise Ratio, is a measure used in various fields such as telecommunications and audio engineering to quantify the level of a desired signal relative to the background noise. It is expressed in decibels (dB) and indicates the clarity and quality of the signal; a higher SNR signifies a clearer signal, while a lower SNR suggests greater interference from noise. SNR is crucial for optimizing system performance and ensuring effective communication in both analog and digital systems.
