Detailed Description

Signal-to-Variation Ratio SNR Estimator.

This estimator actually comes from an SNR estimator for M-PSK signals in fading channels, but this implementation is specifically for AWGN channels. The math was simplified to assume a signal and noise kurtosis ( $k_a$ and $k_w$ ) for M-PSK signals in AWGN. These approximations significantly reduce the complexity of the calculations (and computations) required.
