FM improvement threshold

The point in an FM receiver at which the peaks in the rf signal equal the peaks of the thermal noise generated in the receiver. (188) Note: A baseband signal-to-noise ratio of about 30 dB is typical at the improvement threshold, and this ratio improves 1 dB for each decibel of increase in the signal above the threshold.
