NOISE POWER.
weak signal can occur when high and low power in-band
signals are present that are closely spaced in frequency. The
added phase noise from the LO on the high power signal
may cover up the nearby lower power signal, significantly
reducing its S/N. For extremely large dynamic ranges
(PCAR_MAX PCAR_MIN), the AWGN of the LO may also
reduce the S/N of weak signals, independent of frequency
separation. The equivalent C/kT of the weak receive signal
in the presence of a large tone from reciprocal mixing is [7]:

.
The (C/kT)LO term is either the LO carrier to noise density,
when assessing LO AWGN impacts, or it is the single side
band phase noise at a given frequency offset in dBc. Each
term above is in dB and must be converted to watts to do the
calculation and then back to dB again (10 log X) to give the
equivalent C/kT result in dB-Hz.
