Signaleffektiv
Signaleffektiv is a term used in German-language discussions of signal design and information transfer to express how effectively a signal fulfills its intended purpose. The term is not standardized in major reference works, and its precise meaning depends on the context.
In information-theoretic terms, Signaleffektiv can be viewed as a measure of how much of the transmitted information
Common metrics associated with Signaleffektiv include the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), bit error rate (BER), spectral efficiency
Applications of the concept include comparing modulation formats, coding schemes, or signaling strategies, with higher Signaleff
