Calculate Channel Capacity



Formula

The formula to calculate the Channel Capacity (C) is:

\[ C = B \times \log_2(1 + \text{SNR}) \]

Where:

Definitions

Example

Let's say the bandwidth (B) is 1000 Hz and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is 10. Using the formula:

\[ C = 1000 \times \log_2(1 + 10) \]

We get:

\[ C \approx 3321.93 \text{ bits per second} \]

So, the channel capacity is approximately 3321.93 bits per second.
