Whats the dynamic range of the receivers or detectors?
The dynamic range is the ratio of the maximum power you can detect over the minimum power you can detect. This provides you with an operating range over which you can detect power changes. This value is typically given in dB. For example: For the Model 1607-AC a good rough estimate of the dynamic range is: Maximum detectable power (MaxDP) = 2 mW (saturation power) Minimum detectable power (MinDP) = 1µW (min NEP) Min detectable power = (min NEP)· (BW-1/2) In dB, Dynamic Range = 10log(MaxDP/ MinDP) = 10log(2000) for an approximate Dynamic Range of 33 dB.
