Does SNR Indicate Bandwidth Limitations in Signal Distortion?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and bandwidth limitations in signal distortion. Participants concluded that while SNR and usable bandwidth are interrelated, SNR alone does not indicate bandwidth limitations. The concept of "signal detection theory" is highlighted as a relevant area for further exploration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
  • Familiarity with bandwidth concepts in signal processing
  • Knowledge of signal distortion mechanisms
  • Basic principles of signal detection theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "signal detection theory" in detail
  • Explore the relationship between SNR and bandwidth in communication systems
  • Investigate methods to analyze signal distortion
  • Learn about advanced signal processing techniques
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, telecommunications professionals, and researchers interested in signal processing and communication theory will benefit from this discussion.

Does SNR give a clue to bandwidth limitations? i. e. Would it help to figure out how the signal is distorted due to the limitation of the bandwidth?
I think answer is "no" though.

Yes, SNR and usable bandwidth are interrelated. You want to read up on "signal detection theory".

Thank you!
 
What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
