  1. Question 1

    Q1. A channel has a bandwidth of 5000 Hz. What is the maximum data rate if it uses 32 signal levels?

    • A) 50000 bps
    • B) 40000 bps
    • C) 100000 bps
    • D) 20000 bps

    Answer: 50000 bps

    Explanation: Using Nyquist formula: Data Rate = 2 * Bandwidth * log2(L), Data Rate = 2 * 5000 * log2(32) = 2 * 5000 * 5 = 50000 bps.
