[Antennas] Any good definitions / simplke disertations ??

[A10382]

With BPL being a hot topic at the moment, it might not be a bad idea to have
a good (and correct) understanding of things like 'noise floor' and Part 15
specs.

There are lots of very technical dissertations and papers on this and many
other subjects.  What would probably be very valuable for most folks,
particularly non-radio folks you may talk to) is a simpler, less scientific.
and NOT dumbed down paper(s) on things like:
Noise Floor
Interference types (QRM, QRN, etc).
Part 15 radiated specs (mv/m2)
-dbm
ERP
db ratios
etc.

I find myself sometimes 'dumbing down' a discussion on interference to a
non-radio person as "just like snow on your TV".  Of course, those that grew
up on cable or satellite TV usually have no idea what "snow" is..

Anyone ??
