Detailed Documentation
This algorithm represents a classical signal-to-noise ratio estimation technique—the Error Vector Magnitude method. It estimates signal SNR by computing the second and fourth-order moments of the in-phase and quadrature components in received signals. Widely adopted in signal processing applications, this approach accurately determines noise levels through mathematical moment calculations, typically implemented using statistical functions that process I/Q component data arrays. The algorithm's reliability in quantifying signal quality makes it valuable for performance analysis in communication systems, where SNR estimation can be programmed using efficient vector operations on sampled signal data.
