SNR vs SINAD

Dec 18, 2012 3 Replies

Given the title, what is the SNR of this newsgroup? How does it compare to the SNR of the technical groups in the general newsgroup community?



Or should I more usefully be asking about the SINAD?

Actually, I meant to post this to s.e.d, but the s.e.c group gets a lot of the same noise.

It's actually very high. The low level ankle biting is dwarfed by the occasional peak of brilliance, since power goes as amplitude squared. ;)

Really? Care to point me to some of those high power peaks? The ultra low duty cycle might keep the SINAD pretty low after all, but I haven't been here long. Maybe you are talking about stuff that is of the magnitude of a supernova.
