Received Noise Power

In telecommunications, received noise power is a measure of noise in a receiver. For example, the received noise power might be:

  1. The calculated or measured noise power, within the bandwidth being used, at the receive end of a circuit, channel, link, or system.
  2. The absolute power of the noise measured or calculated at a receive point. The related bandwidth and the noise weighting must also be specified.
  3. 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:

    “However backwards the world has been in former ages in the discovery of such points as GOD never meant us to know,—we have been more successful in our own days:Mthousands can trace out now the impressions of this divine intercourse in themselves, from the first moment they received it, and with such distinct intelligence of its progress and workings, as to require no evidence of its truth.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “There is something terribly wrong with a culture inebriated by noise and gregariousness.”
    —George Steiner (b. 1929)

    “we are laid asleep
    In body, and become a living soul:
    While with an eye made quiet by the power
    Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,
    We see into the life of things.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
