Hi,

I'm currently working on USRP sensitivity and noise.
Noise power depends on receiver bandwidth (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson%E2%80%93Nyquist_noise#Noise_power_in_decibels).
But what if :
- I sample a signal at 4MHz with USRP + GNURadio (Thermal noise power =
-174 + 10*log(4MHz) )
- I add a decimation by 10 in GNURadio
What is the new thermal noise power ? The same, or -174 + 10*log(400kHz) ?
I've made some tests with USRP + GNURadio, and the noise seems to be lower
after decimation, but not of 20 dB (more of 10 dB).

Thanks for your help,
