In telecommunications, received noise power is a measure of noise in a receiver. For example, the received noise power might be:
- The calculated or measured noise power, within the bandwidth being used, at the receive end of a circuit, channel, link, or system.
- The absolute power of the noise measured or calculated at a receive point. The related bandwidth and the noise weighting must also be specified.
- The value of noise power, from all sources, measured at the line terminals of a telephone set's receiver.' Either flat weighting or some other specific amplitude-frequency characteristic or noise weighting characteristic must be associated with the measurement.

Famous quotes containing the words received, noise and/or power:
“Oh, had I received the education I desired, had I been bred to the profession of the law, I might have been a useful member of society, and instead of myself and my property being taken care of, I might have been a protector of the helpless, a pleader for the poor and unfortunate.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“The noise of life begins again,
And ghastly through the drizzling rain
On the bald street breaks the blank day.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
