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:
“Frank Harris has been received in all the great houses—once!”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Your next-door neighbour ... is not a man; he is an environment. He is the barking of a dog; he is the noise of a pianola; he is a dispute about a party wall; he is drains that are worse than yours, or roses that are better than yours.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The importance of a lost romantic vision should not be underestimated. In such a vision is power as well as joy. In it is meaning. Life is flat, barren, zestless, if one can find one’s lost vision nowhere.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 1, ch. 19 (1962)
