Revision as of 22:28, 20 September 2014

Main focus in the previous lectures was on propagation effects. We will first repeat the main conclusions from last lecture on electromagnetic signals, and then introduce the capacity of a system based on Shannon's theorem.

⌘ Shannon Theorem

  • The fundamental theorem of information theory, or just Shannon's theorem, was first presented by Claude Shannon in 1948.
  • Given a noisy channel with channel capacity C and information transmitted at a rate R, then if R < C there exist codes that allow the probability of error at the receiver to be made arbitrarily small. This means that theoretically, it is possible to transmit information nearly without error at any rate below a limiting rate, C.
  • See File:LarsLundheim-Telektronikk2002.pdf: The channel capacity of a band-limited information transmission channel with additive white, Gaussian noise. This capacity is given by an expression often known as “Shannon’s formula”: [bits/s]

with W as system bandwidth, and in case of interference free environment, otherwise , where with as Boltzmann constant and as temperature in Kelvin.

Exercises:

  • If the SNR is 20 dB, and the bandwidth available is 4 kHz, what is the capacity of the channel?
  • If it is required to transmit at 50 kbit/s, and a bandwidth of 1 MHz is used, what is the minimum S/N required for the transmission?
