Encyclopedia > FM improvement threshold

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

Fibromyalgia and the Disability Dilemma (4512 words)
Most FM patients report that chronic pain and fatigue adversely affect the quality of their life and negatively impact their ability to be competitively employed (8-10).
They reported that FM patients, characterized by low pain thresholds, had a decreased regional cerebral flow compared to healthy controls The decreased perfusion was particularly prominent in the thalamic and caudate nuclei (structures involved in the processing of nociceptive stimuli).
Though FM patients do need to "get on with their lives", such flip advice is not a constructive substitute for management advice based on a careful analysis of each patients dysfunctional profile.
