What is the term for the ratio between the largest tolerable receiver input signal and the minimum discernible signal?

If the question has a related picture, it will appear here.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Receiver sensitivity – the weakest signal a receiver can reliably detect • Difference between dynamic range, noise floor, and noise figure in radio receivers • How maximum undistorted input and minimum usable input define a receiver’s useful operating span

💭 Think About

• Which choice describes a range between a maximum and a minimum signal level, rather than a single level or a type of distortion? • Which terms refer specifically to noise characteristics (how much noise a system has or produces) rather than the overall span of usable signal levels? • Think about receiver specifications: when manufacturers list min. discernible signal (MDS) and strongest tolerable signal, what single spec often summarizes that spread?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is a ratio or range between max and min input levels • Eliminate any terms that refer only to noise level or noise performance at the low end • Eliminate any term that primarily describes nonlinear distortion products rather than input-signal span
