The line representingthe signal to maximum noise ratios corresponds to the hypothetical case wherethe maximum background noise is determined bj- the requirement that the signalto noise ratio be 20 db for a signal 50 db below full sinusoidal modulation. sidering a value providing a signal to noise ratio of 20 db for the weakestsignals in our hypothetical system. A signal to maximum noise powercurve may then be dra^Mi as a function of signal power for this constantvalue of noise power. Such a graph has been combined, in Fig. 20, withcurves such as those which have previously appeared in Figs. 15 to curves have been terminated at their intersections with the linerepresenting the signal to maximum noise power ratio since we areassuming that little benefit will be derived from a signal to quantizingerror po
