A channel has a bandwidth of 20 kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 10. What is the maximum data rate according to Shannon's theorem?
Q1. A channel has a bandwidth of 20 kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 10. What is the maximum data rate according to Shannon's theorem?
Answer: 66.44 kbps
Explanation: C = B * log2(1 + SNR) = 20 * 10³ * log2(1 + 10) = 20 * 10³ * 3.322 = 66440 bps or 66.44 kbps.
