Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

     A measurement used in research and engineering that contrasts the strength of a desired signal with the strength of background noise is known as the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR or S/N). The definition of SNR, which is frequently represented in dB, is the ratio of signal power to noise power.

The Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is defined as:

       SNR = Average Signal PowerAverage Noise Power

Given, 

SNR = 10000:1 

noise power = 700 nw
