Abstract
Signal to noise ratio (SNR) is one of the most basic specifications used to characterize quality of the received signal, as well as (implicitly) the complexity of the required electronics. In the following examples, we develop a feeling for relationships between the noise and signal, we learn about differential signals, thermal noise, and we practice to use frequency spectrum plots to help us in the design process.
