Talk:Noise-equivalent power

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

Unclear example

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]
