    Signal To Noise Ratio & Eye Diagram: College of Engineering& Technology

    Uploaded by

    Kyeth Anthony Tano
    This laboratory report discusses experiments measuring signal to noise ratio (SNR) and eye diagrams. Students Irven Carl Baral, Dennis Michael De Guzman, Xavier Kent Pinote, and Kyeth Anthony Tano conducted experiments using a noise generator module at different output levels to add noise to a digital data signal. They found that increasing the noise generator output resulted in a more distorted digital signal and lower SNR. Specifically, using the noise generator at 0dB provided the most noise and lowest SNR, while -20dB provided the least noise and highest SNR. The report includes the SNR calculations and conclusions about the effects of different noise levels on the digital signal quality.

    Wideband Electrical Noise (-20dB)

    Wideband Electrical Noise (-6dB)

    Wideband Electrical Noise (0dB)


    Question 1
    Based on its appearance, what type of noise is the Noise Generator module modelling?
    Digital noise generation.

    Question 2
    Which of the Noise Generator’s outputs provides the most amount of noise?
    At 0dB of the noise generator’s output.
    Baseband LPF’s output signal (-20dB & -6db)

    Baseband LPF’s output signal (0dB)

    The digital signal becomes increasingly distorted as the noise increases.


    Question 3
    Why doesn’t the digital data signal look as “noisy” now as it did before?
    The digital data signal doesn’t look “noisy” since the additional block of baseband LPF
    makes the signal and noise being band limited, or to filter out the high frequencies.

    Alternate SNR (in decibels)
    32.33dB
    Table 1

    Question 4
    What is the signal-to-noise ratio (the ratio not the decibel) actually telling you?
    The SNR tells us that the calculated SNRs in this experiment is measured due to the level of a
    desired signal to the level of the background noise.
    Question 5
    Why are the two signal-to-noise ratios almost identical even though they’ve been calculated
    in a different way?
    They are almost identical since the noise voltage is too little for it to compare the signal
    voltage. Also, when we calculate the error between the two ratios, we get the value of 2.45%,
    which means that they are almost identical.
    Question 6
    What would you expect to happen to the signal-to-noise ratio figures if the Noise Generator
    module’s -6dB or 0dB outputs are used?
    The higher the Noise Generator’s output, the lower the SNR.
    Question 7
    What other change to the signal-to-noise figures would you expect to see if you used the
    Noise Generator module’s other outputs?
    The lower the Noise Generator’s output, the better the digital signal’s output since the SNR
    gets higher.
