What is the term that describes the ratio of desired signal to undesired signal in the average power level of a transmission?
A) SNR
B) dBm
C) RSSI
D) FSPL

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SNR stands for signal-to-noise ratio which describes the ratio of desired signal to undesired signal (noise) in the average power level of a transmission. It is a common measurement used in telecommunications and networking to gauge the quality of a signal. Option B) dBm is a unit of measurement for signal strength, Option C) RSSI stands for received signal strength indicator and measures the strength of a received signal, and Option D) FSPL stands for free space path loss and is a calculation used to predict the attenuation of a radio signal over a distance. While all of these concepts are relevant to transmission and signal strength, only A) SNR specifically refers to the ratio of desired signal to undesired signal in the average power level of a transmission.
