Noise Cancellation Bridges

Whether you operate a radio receiver, or some piece of scientific or medical instrumentation, noise interferes with acquiring desired signals. Noise is bad. After all, radio reception and other forms of signals acquisition are essentially a game of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The actual values of the desired signal and noise signal are not nearly as important as their ratio. If the signal is not significantly stronger than the noise, then it will not be properly detected.
