SNR vs Signal Power

Formel

## Signal-to-Noise Ratio SNR compares the level of a desired signal to the background noise level. Higher SNR means a cleaner signal. ### Formula **SNR (dB) = 10 x log10(P_signal / P_noise)** For voltage measurements: **SNR (dB) = 20 x log10(V_signal / V_noise)** ### Reference Points - 60+ dB: Excellent (hi-fi audio) - 40-60 dB: Good (voice communication) - 20-40 dB: Fair (some degradation) - < 20 dB: Poor (significant noise)

Lösungsbeispiel

Signal power of 100 mW with noise power of 0.1 mW.

  1. 01SNR linear: 100 / 0.1 = 1000
  2. 02SNR dB: 10 x log10(1000) = 30.0 dB
  3. 03Noise fraction: 0.1 / 100 x 100 = 0.1%

Häufig Gestellte Fragen

What SNR do I need for clear audio?

For speech intelligibility, 15-20 dB is minimum. For music, 60+ dB is expected. Professional recordings target 90+ dB.

How do I improve SNR?

Increase signal power, reduce noise (shielding, filtering, lower noise components), or use signal averaging.

Is SNR the same as SINAD?

No. SINAD (Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion) includes harmonic distortion in the denominator, making it a stricter metric.
