https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-equivalent%20power | Noise-equivalent power (NEP) is a measure of the sensitivity of a photodetector or detector system. It is defined as the signal power that gives a signal-to-noise ratio of one in a one hertz output bandwidth. An output bandwidth of one hertz is equivalent to half a second of integration time. The units of NEP are watts... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise%20figure | Noise figure (NF) and noise factor (F) are figures of merit that indicate degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that is caused by components in a signal chain. These figures of merit are used to evaluate the performance of an amplifier or a radio receiver, with lower values indicating better performance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise%20power | In telecommunication, the term noise power has the following meanings:
The measured total noise in a given bandwidth at the input or output of a device when the signal is not present; the integral of noise spectral density over the bandwidth
The power generated by a random electromagnetic process.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise%20temperature | In electronics, noise temperature is one way of expressing the level of available noise power introduced by a component or source. (This is to be distinguished from Temperature Noise in Thermodynamics or Principal Interferrometric Analysis Over Cross-Type Interference Between different noise types) The power spectral d... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise%20weighting | A noise weighting is a specific amplitude-vs.-frequency characteristic that is designed to allow subjectively valid measurement of noise. It emphasises the parts of the spectrum that are most important.
Usually, noise means audible noise, in audio systems, broadcast systems or telephone circuits. In this case the weig... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-return-to-zero | In telecommunication, a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) line code is a binary code in which ones are represented by one significant condition, usually a positive voltage, while zeros are represented by some other significant condition, usually a negative voltage, with no other neutral or rest condition.
For a given data sig... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-entity | In telecommunication, a n-entity is an active element in the n-th layer of the Open Systems Interconnection--Reference Model (OSI-RM) that (a) interacts directly with elements, i.e., entities, of the layer immediately above or below the n-th layer, (b) is defined by a unique set of rules, i.e., syntax, and information ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist%20rate | In signal processing, the Nyquist rate, named after Harry Nyquist, is a value (in units of samples per second or hertz, Hz) equal to twice the highest frequency (bandwidth) of a given function or signal. When the function is digitized at a higher sample rate (see ), the resulting discrete-time sequence is said to be f... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-premises%20wiring | On-premises wiring (customer premises wiring) is customer-owned telecommunication transmission or distribution lines. The transmission lines may be metallic (copper) or optical fiber, and may be installed within or between buildings.
Premises wiring may consist of horizontal wiring, vertical wiring, and backbone cabli... |
