SNRs vs SNR

Both 'snrs' and 'snr' are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'SNR' stands for 'signal-to-noise ratio' and is a common abbreviation used in technical fields. 'SNRs' is the plural form of 'SNR' and is used when referring to multiple signal-to-noise ratios.

SNRs

This is correct when referring to multiple signal-to-noise ratios.

This is the plural form of 'SNR' (signal-to-noise ratio) and is used when talking about multiple ratios.

Examples:

  • The snrs of the different channels were compared for quality assessment.
  • The snrs of the two devices were significantly different.

Alternatives:

  • signal-to-noise ratios
  • SNR values
  • multiple SNRs
  • several signal-to-noise ratios
  • various SNRs

SNR

This is correct when referring to a single signal-to-noise ratio.

This is the abbreviation for 'signal-to-noise ratio' and is used when talking about a single ratio.

Examples:

  • The snr of the microphone was very high.
  • The snr of the system was calculated to be 20 dB.
  • for SNR: producer of bearings.
  • Registration number (SNR): O/00064
  • On paper at least, the important specifications look good with an SNR (a-weighted) of 120db, and output noise measured at 1.85 microvolts.
  • SNR(Sianal Noise Ratio): 85dB
  • The weakness of the signal provided by a low speed bearing requires a suited dynamic range and noise floor. An amplification of 90 dB is frequently necessary. Above all, an excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is essential.
  • 60dB Typ. SNR Typ. Output Current Channel Separation Max diff. linearity error
  • Asus STRIX SOAR (STRIX-SOAR) Asus XONAR D1 7.1 CANALI PCI 116 SNR (XONAR/D1)
  • The RB-5600 receive booster improves the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of a wireless-LAN connection by about 6dB. That results usually in twice the distance available at the same data rate.
  • I have also included TDA1543 info in the table just as a reference (in referring to Convertus take into account that a quad DAC increases SNR by 6dB).
  • In Ovčie mliekárstvo a syrárstvo po novom it is stated that: ... the quality of the bryndza produced depends mainly on the quality of the ovčí hrudkový syr salašnícky (Edícia Povereníctva SNR pre pôdohospodárstvo, Bratislava, 1966).
  • The TERA S/FTP channel performed particularly well when compared to a typical category 6A UTP channel. The TERA channel exhibited on average an SNR margin of 30.2 dB, which is approximately 6 dB better than a typical category 6A UTP channel.
  • When an audio chipset converts a digital audio signal to an analogue one (for example when playing an MP3 on your speakers), a certain amount of noise is added. A higher SNR means that there is less added noise and the audio quality is better.
  • There exist five profiles (Simple Profile, Main Profile, SNR Scalable Profile, Spatially Scalable e High Profile) and each of them is progressively more refined and adds compression tools to the previous one.
  • 6 dBµV means a signal of 0.5 µV and 0 dBµV corresponds to 1 µV. Your instrument must be able to extract this low signal from the background noise. You understand now why SNR is so important.
  • Zellweger 2110B2200-2110B2070 Zellweger 2110B2200-2110B2070 Trasmettitore Apex 2 x 25mm ent + sensore Apex MK2 SNR HSG per ECC/CATA Zellweger: ecatalog - Catalogo
  • Search by: Violin + Johann Strauss Snr
  • V85 SNr. MBD 09.71015-0001 Hoffmann Mineral Sillitin
  • IMO ACG 045K5 IVBP IMO ACG 045K5 IVBP Avvitare la pompa, SNr. 456800 IMO: ecatalog - Catalogo
  • 96.7 dB Single-Conversion SNR (Typical)
  • This results in a worse signal to noise ratio (SNR) and thereby in less effective decoding of signals. Another advantage of using the pre-amp right at the antenna is that you can use cheaper cable with higher attenuation for the long downlead to your shack.

Alternatives:

  • signal-to-noise ratio
  • SNR value
  • a single SNR
  • one signal-to-noise ratio
  • a ratio of signal to noise
