sdr.ebn0_to_snr(ebn0: ArrayLike, bps: ArrayLike, rate: ArrayLike = 1.0, sps: ArrayLike = 1) NDArray[float64]

Converts from \(E_b/N_0\) to \(S/N\).

\[ \frac{S}{N} = \frac{E_b}{N_0} \frac{k}{n} \log_2 M \frac{f_{sym}}{f_s} \]

Parameters:
ebn0: ArrayLike

Bit energy \(E_b\) to noise PSD \(N_0\) ratio in dB.

bps: ArrayLike

Coded bits per symbol \(\log_2 M\), where \(M\) is the modulation order.

rate: ArrayLike = 1.0

Code rate \(r = k/n\), where \(k\) is the number of information bits and \(n\) is the number of coded bits.

sps: ArrayLike = 1

Samples per symbol \(f_s / f_{sym}\).

Returns:

The signal-to-noise ratio \(S/N\) in dB.

Examples

Convert from \(E_b/N_0 = 5\) dB to \(S/N\) for a 4-QAM signal with \(r = 2/3\) and 1 sample per symbol.
