Mark, > If the SNR is negative, how is it that you can copy any signal?
The path simulator adds Gaussian white noise to the input signal to simulate a signal-to-noise ratio through a 3KHz band pass filter. If the SNR is less than 0, it's below the noise level. The signal is still there, it's just weaker than the noise.
