What is Noise Floor?
Sensitivity is a familiar number, normally applies to
SSB.
l
Sensitivity = 10 dB Signal + Noise / Noise (10 dB
S+N/N)
l
Noise Floor = 3 dB Signal + Noise / Noise (3 dB S+N/N)
Noise floor can be measured at any filter bandwidth, CW
or SSB, for example
League normally only publishes noise floor for a CW bandwidth, typically 500 Hz CW filter
