signal-to-noise ratio
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a measure of the strength of a desired signal compared to the level of background noise or interference. It quantifies the relative quality or clarity of a signal by evaluating the ratio between the power or amplitude of the signal and the power or amplitude of the unwanted noise.
