Could someone provide some practical examples (numerical) ? 212.25.107.145 (talk) 13:49, 19 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Unclear example

edit

I appreciate that someone added the numerical illustration "...can detect a signal power of one picowatt with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of one after one half second of averaging." However, the "one half second" appears without explanation. Can someone add an explanation please?2600:1702:2420:A000:9D0A:2AF5:6BF3:C05D (talk) 14:57, 21 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Furthermore, the claim that the SNR improves with the square root of integration time assumes that the SNR is measured as the ratio of amplitudes, not powers. 69.159.111.161 (talk) 20:24, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
