Addition of noise at the receiver based on SNR

As per the article --> SNR Definition Used in Link Simulations

We can use the below mentioned formula to add noise when we assume , which means we need to set the property NormalizeChannelOutputs property of the channel objects to true

---- (1)

If we set NormalizeChannelOutputs to false, then also can we use the equation (1) to add noise at the receiver?

It would be helpful if you can help me on this.

Thanks

Hi Sanju,

You cannot set the "NormalizeChannelOutputs" to false. This property of the channel objects when true normalizes the channel outputs by the number of receiver antennas as assumed in the derivation of noise power.
