figure-of-merit of receiver
1Noise figure — (NF) is a measure of degradation of the signal to noise ratio (SNR), caused by components in a radio frequency (RF) signal chain. The noise figure is defined as the ratio of the output noise power of a device to the portion thereof attributable… …
2Noise temperature — In electronics, noise temperature is one way of expressing the level of available noise power introduced by a component or source. The power spectral density of the noise is expressed in terms of the temperature (in kelvins) that would produce… …
3Geophysical MASINT — is a branch of Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) that involves phenomena transmitted through the earth (ground, water, atmosphere) and manmade structures including emitted or reflected sounds, pressure waves, vibrations, and… …
4Downlink CNR — (Carrier to noise ratio in satellite reception) is an important figure in system TVRO design. Below are certain parameters used in CNR computation. Contents 1 Figure of merit 2 Path loss 3 EIRP 4 Baseband …

8Noise spectral density — In communications, noise spectral density No is the noise power per unit of bandwidth; that is, it is the power spectral density of the noise. It has dimension of power/frequency (see dimensional analysis), whose SI coherent unit is watts per… …
9Internetwork protocol — In networking, a communications protocol or network protocol is the specification of a set of rules for a particular type of communication.Multiple protocols often describe different aspects of a single communication. A group of protocols… …
