  2. Signal-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio

    Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR or S/N) is a measure used in science and engineering that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. SNR is defined as the ratio of signal power to noise power, often expressed in decibels. A ratio higher than 1:1 (greater than 0 dB) indicates more signal than noise.

  3. Figure–ground (perception) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure–ground_(perception)

    Figure–ground (perception) Figure–ground organization is a type of perceptual grouping that is a vital necessity for recognizing objects through vision. In Gestalt psychology it is known as identifying a figure from the back ground. For example, black words on a printed paper are seen as the "figure", and the white sheet as the "background ...

  4. Additive white Gaussian noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_white_Gaussian_noise

    Additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is a basic noise model used in information theory to mimic the effect of many random processes that occur in nature. The modifiers denote specific characteristics: Additive because it is added to any noise that might be intrinsic to the information system. White refers to the idea that it has uniform power ...

  5. Spread spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_spectrum

    t. e. In telecommunications, especially radio communication, spread spectrum are techniques by which a signal (e.g., an electrical, electromagnetic, or acoustic) generated with a particular bandwidth is deliberately spread in the frequency domain over a wider frequency band. Spread-spectrum techniques are used for the establishment of secure ...

  6. Signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-interference...

    In information theory and telecommunication engineering, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR[1]) (also known as the signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SNIR) [2]) is a quantity used to give theoretical upper bounds on channel capacity (or the rate of information transfer) in wireless communication systems such as networks.

  7. Communication noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_noise

    Environmental noise can be any external noise that can potentially impact the effectiveness of communication. [2] These noises can be any type of sight (i.e., car accident, television show), sound (i.e., talking, music, ringtones), or stimuli (i.e., tapping on the shoulder) that can distract someone from receiving the message. [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Line-break_handling

    The non-breaking space works within links exactly like a regular space. Thus you can link to [[J. R. R. Tolkien]] directly and it will render as J. R. R. Tolkien. The initials will not be separated across a line break. However,   renders the source text harder to read and edit. Avoid using it unless it is really necessary to ...

  9. Noise temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_temperature

    The noise factor (a linear term) is more often expressed as the noise figure (in decibels) using the conversion: = ⁡ The noise figure can also be seen as the decrease in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) caused by passing a signal through a system if the original signal had a noise temperature of 290 K. This is a common way of expressing the noise ...
