Carrier-to-receiver noise density
Carrier-to-receiver noise density ( C /k T ): In satellite communications, the ratio of the received carrier power to the receiver noise power density.
Note 1: The carrier-to-receiver noise density ratio is usually expressed in dB.
Note 2: The carrier-to-receiver noise density is given by C /kT, where C is the received carrier power in watts, k is Boltzmann's constant in joules per kelvin, and T is the receiver system noise Carrier-to-receiver noise density temperature in kelvins.
Note 3: The receiver noise power density, kT, is the receiver noise power per hertz.

Electronics Topics
The field of electronics is the study and use of systems that operate by controlling the flow of electrons or other electrically charged particles in devices such as thermionic valves and semiconductors. The design and construction of electronic circuits to solve practical problems is part of the fields of electronic engineering, and the hardware design side of computer engineering. The study of new semiconductor devices and their technology is sometimes considered as a branch of physics.
