    C/N S/N: Carrier To Noise Ratio or Signal To Noise Ratio

    Uploaded by

    Taha Al-abed
    The document discusses carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in telecommunications. It defines CNR as the SNR of a modulated radio frequency signal, distinguishing it from SNR of a demodulated baseband message signal. It then provides details on the signal-to-noise ratio requirements for a DVB-C transmission link using 64 QAM modulation, the resulting bit error ratios at different stages, and the threshold for quasi-error free operation and abrupt transmission breakdown.

    carrier-to-noise ratio
    In telecommunications, the carrier-to-noise
    ratio, often written CNR or C/N, is the signalto-noise ratio (SNR) of a modulated signal. The
    term is used to distinguish the CNR of the
    radio frequency passband signal from the SNR
    of an analogue base band message signal
    after demodulation, for example an audio
    frequency analogue message signal

    DVB-C transmission link which is still quasi error free


    (QEF) requires a signal/noise ratio S/N of more than 26
    dB for 64 QAM.
    The channel bit error ratio, i.e. the bit error ratio before
    Reed Solomon is 2E-4.
    The Reed Solomon decoder then corrects errors up to a
    residual bit error ratio after Reed Solomon of 1E-11.
    It is less than one uncorrected error event per
    transport stream hour which corresponds to a coded
    BER of about 1E-10 to 1E-11.
    This corresponds to quasi error free operation (1 error
    per hour) but is also close to the brick wall (or fall
    off the cliff).
    A little more noise and the transmission will
    breakdown abruptly.
