If you can achieve real noise margins of 20 dB or greater at the receiver, you will have very few, if any, visible impairments to reception.

Notice I'm not referring to a particular signal power level... A strong signal mixed with interference, noise or distortion products may not be receivable. A weaker signal free of interference, noise or distortion may provide 100% reliable reception.

There is more to reception than mere signal strength.
