  2. Minimum detectable signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_detectable_signal

    This required difference in power levels of the signal and the noise floor is known as the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). To establish the minimum detectable signal (MDS) of a receiver we require several factors to be known. Required signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) Detection bandwidth (BW) Temperature T 0 of the receiver system; Receiver noise figure ...

  3. Detection limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detection_limit

    The detection limit (according to IUPAC) is the smallest concentration, or the smallest absolute amount, of analyte that has a signal statistically significantly larger than the signal arising from the repeated measurements of a reagent blank. Mathematically, the analyte's signal at the detection limit is given by:

  5. Absolute threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_threshold

    In neuroscience and psychophysics, an absolute threshold was originally defined as the lowest level of a stimulus – light, sound, touch, etc. – that an organism could detect. Under the influence of signal detection theory , absolute threshold has been redefined as the level at which a stimulus will be detected a specified percentage (often ...

    Roman numerals: for example the word "six" in the clue might be used to indicate the letters VI; The name of a chemical element may be used to signify its symbol; e.g., W for tungsten; The days of the week; e.g., TH for Thursday; Country codes; e.g., "Switzerland" can indicate the letters CH; ICAO spelling alphabet: where Mike signifies M and ...

  7. Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunable_diode_laser...

    If these noise contributions are held low, the sensitivity can be brought into the 10 −5 – 10 −6 range or even better. In general the absorption imprints are generated by a straight line light propagation through a volume with the specific gas. To further enhance the signal, the pathway of the light travel can be increased with multi-pass ...

  8. Sensitivity index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_index

    The sensitivity index or discriminability index or detectability index is a dimensionless statistic used in signal detection theory. A higher index indicates that the signal can be more readily detected.

  9. Sensitivity (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_(electronics)

    The sensitivity of an electronic device, such as a communications system receiver, or detection device, such as a PIN diode, is the minimum magnitude of input signal required to produce a specified output signal having a specified signal-to-noise ratio, or other specified criteria. In general, it is the signal level required for a particular ...
