Signal to Noise ratio degradation by receiver internal noise (SND)

Receive system internal noise adds to external or ambient noise, and so degrades the signal / noise ratio. This calculator takes the ambient noise figure or temperature and receive system noise figure or equivalent temperature and calculates the degradation in signal / noise ratio.

The results are valid only for linear circuits (ie effects of non-linearity such as intermodulation distortion are not included).

Inputs:
         
   
Results:
S/N degradation (dB)

The calculator does not do a lot of error checking, if you enter nonsense, it will probably produce nonsense.
