Abstract :
A theory based on the physiology of the human eye is presented, shoring the observed consistency of tangential signal to noise ratio (TSNR) to be a simple means for measuring receiver sensitivity. It is found that under a wide range of conditions, TSNR corresponds to a signal to noise ratio of 7.5±1 dB. This result compares well with a generally accepted empirical value of 8 dB
