15 years agoIt might be more practical to rephrase above post from fft perspective:
SNR = 6.02 * Bits + 1.76 + 10 Log ( M / 2 ) M = fft points In your case SNR will be: 6.02*16 + 1.76 + 10log(8192/2) = 134.2dB This level is what you will see. However normalised SNR = above value minus effect of fft resolution. Thus normalised SNR becomes as you mentioned about theoretical floor. normalised SNR = SNR - 10log(M/2) Other factors to be considered: upsampling will also increase SNR due to spreading. FFT window is another factor that may mask the fft noise floor.
