Noise is the real enemy of data communications. Whenever electrons travel over a wire or radiate through space, they generate some electromagnetic noise. Therefore, whenever a data signal is sent ...

The ratio of the power or volume (amplitude) of a signal to the amount of disturbance (the noise) mixed in with it. Measured in decibels, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR, S/N) measures the clarity of the ...

The term peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) is an expression for the ratio between the maximum possible value (power) of a signal and the power of distorting noise that affects the quality of its ...

Music labels and equipment suppliers hope that high-resolution-audio formats, such as DVD-Audio and SACD (Super Audio CD), will be the latest in a string of mostly successful upgrade “pitches” ...

Part 1 of this article series discussed the theoretical benefits of high-resolution audio’s large sample sizes and the degree to which the limitations of real-life equipment, recording studios, and ...

While some companies are just beginning to wrap their heads around 5G and what it means for business, Bloomberg has been actively planning for the coming data deluge and using it as a driver to invest ...

IN seismology a method has been developed of examining the focal mechanisms of earthquakes by studying the azimuthal variation of the first movements on seismograms 1. In extending this method to ...
