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:
“Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war—for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I’d say we deserve ours more.”
—John Lennon (1940–1980)
“It is as real
as splinters stuck in your ear. The noise we steal
is half a bell. And outside cars whisk by on the suburban street
and are there and are true.
What else is this, this intricate shape of air?
calling me, calling you.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“A physician can sometimes parry the scythe of death, but has no power over the sand in the hourglass.”
