B)Noise floor
C)Dynamic range
D)Squelch

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SINAD (Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio) quantifies how the received signal is impaired by both noise voltages and distortion components. The other options (B-D) do not take into account distortion components. Noise floor indicates the lowest signal level that can be detected by a receiver, dynamic range refers to the range between the strongest and weakest signals a receiver can handle, and squelch is a circuit that mutes the receiver when no signals above a certain level are present.
