According to the datasheet, the carrier to noise ratio for the BSRU6 
front end, (which contains an stv0299), can be calculated in dB using 
the following information:

Register ADD 24 NIRH 8 bits (MSB of noise indicator)

Register ADD 25 NIRL 8 bits (LSB of noise indicator)

C/N (dB) = -0.0017 * NIR + 19.02

Regards,

Richard
