Reference Noise

In telecommunication, reference noise is the magnitude of circuit noise chosen as a reference for measurement.

Many different levels with a number of different weightings are in current use, and care must be taken to ensure that the proper parameters are stated.

Specific ones include: dBa, dBa(F1A), dBa(HA1), dBa0, dBm, dBm(psoph), dBm0, dBrn, dBrnC, dBrnC0, dBrn(f1-f2), dBrn(144-line), dBx.

Famous quotes containing the words reference and/or noise:

    These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones; they are for what they are; they exist with God to-day. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The noise of life begins again,
    And ghastly through the drizzling rain
    On the bald street breaks the blank day.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
