carrier detect threshold — A way of measuring how well a modem can detect valid data over noisy phone lines. It is measured in negative dBm s (decibel milliwatts). The bigger the number (the more negative) the better. For example, 45 dBm is better than 40 dBm. Same as… … Dictionary of telecommunications
