What is Receiver Sensitivity?

The ability of a receiver to identify and amplify signals at the receivers input is called Receiver
Sensitivity. It is expressed in dBm. The receiver sensitivity level tells us the weakest signal that a
receiver will be able to identify and process. It can be improved by reducing the noise level and
bandwidth of the receiver.

A typical range for receiver sensitivity for RF modules is below -50 to -100 dBm.
