radarx.fundamentals.power.compute_min_detectable_signal(bandwidth, system_temp, snr_threshold=1)[source]#

Compute minimum detectable signal power.

Parameters:

  • bandwidth (float) – Receiver bandwidth [Hz].

  • system_temp (float) – System temperature [K].

  • snr_threshold (float, optional) – Minimum required SNR to detect signal (default is 1).

Returns:

float – Minimum detectable signal power [W].
