Information on CNR

The CNR is the ratio of the carrier power to the noise power. The CNR is a very useful measure in communications because it is not sufficient to simply have a strong signal, since a weak signal in the presence of weak noise may well be as useful as a strong signal in the presence of strong noise.


Other topics in our resources on Communications Systems related to CNR include: 
 
  • carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR)
  • carrier
  • Impulse noise
