What is a Signal to Noise Ratio?

The Signal to Noise Ratio is a ratio of desired signal to undesired signal (noise) in the average power level of a transmission.

If there is too much noise in a circuit, the Signal to Noise Ratio is low. If the circuit is of good quality, the Signal to Noise Ratio will be high.

Signal to Noise Ratio is abbreviated SNR.
