... If the signal power is 50 W (-13 dBm) and the noise power is 50 nW (-43 dBm), the S/N is 1000, or 30 dB. Bit-error rate (BER) is related to S/N. The BER is the ratio of the incorrectly received bits to correctly transmitted bits. A ratio of 10-9 means that one wrong bit is received for every 1 bill ...
