Questions and Answers

What is the equation to calculate Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) in wireless communication?

SNR = Ps/ Pn

How does an increase in power affect Bit Error Rate (BER) in wireless communication?

Increase power -> increase SNR -> decrease BER

What is the main advantage of having a larger SNR in wireless communication?

A larger SNR makes it easier to extract signal from noise
