SNR AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO
QUALITY MEASUREMENT
IMPORTANCE IN QUALITY MEASUREMENT
HIGHER SNR, BETTER QUALITY
A greater SNR denotes a signal that is
significantly stronger than noise, which makes
transmission or reception is clearer and more
reliable.
THRESHOLDS FOR DIFFERENT
APPLICATIONS
A higher SNR means fewer errors in data
transmission.
IMPACT ON DATA RATES AND
BANDWIDTH
SNR has a direct impact on the highest
achievable data rate in digital communications.
The Shannon-Hartley theorem states that the
bandwidth and SNR are related to the channel
capacity in bits per second.
