     78===== Spectrum Analyzer  =====
     79Hardware Spectrum Analyzer - Tektronix SA2600:
     80* Wire measurement must be connect with 30dB attenuator in order to avoid saturation
     81* Wireless measurement requires much higher gain than using wire

    109111===== Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)  =====
    110 There are 2 methods to approximate the SNR.
    111 
     112There are 2 methods to approximate the SNR:
    112113* Method 1:  Estimate the noise power by measure the received signal power when transmitter is turned off.
    113 
    114114* Method 2: Estimate the noise power by calculate the received signal variance.
    115115
    116 noise = variance = mean ( signal - mean ( signal ) )
    117 
    118 noise [dB] = 10 log (noise power)
    119 
    120 signal [dB] = 10 log (signal power)
    121 
    122 SNR = signal power / noise power
    123 
    124 SNR [dB] = signal [dB] - noise [dB]
     116The relationship between signal, noise, SNR:
     117* noise = variance = mean ( signal - mean ( signal ) )
     118* noise [dB] = 10 log (noise power)
     119* signal [dB] = 10 log (signal power)
     120* SNR = signal power / noise power
     121* SNR [dB] = signal [dB] - noise [dB]
