  1. Question 1

    Q1. A channel has a bandwidth of 4 kHz and SNR of 15. What is the maximum data rate?

    • A) 16 kbps
    • B) 20 kbps
    • C) 24 kbps
    • D) 32 kbps

    Answer: 16 kbps

    Explanation: Using Shannon-Hartley theorem: Max data rate = bandwidth * log2(1 + SNR), so 4 * log2(1 + 15) = 16 kbps.
