How is field strength specified?
Quick question... when someone tells you that their receiver provides 12dB
SINAD (or whatever) with an incident field strength of, say, 20uV/m, is 20uV/m an RMS value or magnitude? Or isn't this standardized enough that one should assume? From some Googling RMS appears to be the standard, but I wanted to ask some folks who really know... (Back in school, in EM classes it was always magnitudes...) Thanks, ---Joel |
