In this case you have around 40dB of SNRdB, assuming that the value of SNR you got is linear
I can't understand what is the representation of bit error rate
2007/10/31, Roberto Granato <granroby@xxxxxxxxx>:
How to interpret the values returned using FE_READ_BER and FE_READ_SNR
in a frontend IOCTL?
The definition of BER is (error bit)/(total bit) in a time interval,
while the definition of SNR is (signal power)/(error power).
In the DVB Frontend API I see that BER is a uint32_t and SNR ia a uint16_t.
For example, with a poor signal I got the following values:
Bit error rate: 304146
Signal strength: 38576
SNR: 22359
Bit error rate: 316097
Signal strength: 37912
SNR: 21588
The interval between two readings is 5 seconds.
Why BER is a (so) big number?
How to express SNR with dB?
Thanks,
Roberto Granato
