If the temperature is below setpoint, the output will be on longer; if the temperature is too high, the output will be off longer. The third controller type provides proportional with integral and derivative control, or PID.
Noise figure. Noise figure (NF) and noise factor (F) are measures of degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), caused by components in a radio-frequency (RF) signal chain. It is a number by which the performance of an amplifier or a radio receiver can be specified, with lower values indicating better performance.
For other uses, see Signal to Noise (disambiguation). Signal-to-noise ratio (abbreviated SNR or S/N) is a measure used in science and engineering that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. It is defined as the ratio of signal power to the noise power, often expressed in decibels.
