How is Shannon limit calculated?

If the requirement is to transmit at 5 mbit/s, and a bandwidth of 1 MHz is used, then the minimum S/N required is given by 5000 = 1000 log₂(1+S/N) so C/B = 5 then S/N = 2⁵ −1 = 31, corresponding to an SNR of 14.91 dB (10 x log₁₀(31)).

Why is Shannon capacity calculated?

The Shannon capacity theorem defines the maximum amount of information, or data capacity, which can be sent over any channel or medium (wireless, coax, twister pair, fiber etc.). What this says is that higher the signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio and more the channel bandwidth, the higher the possible data rate.

What is the formula for Shannon capacity ?( In bps *?

C = B * log2(1+ S/N)

where C is the achievable channel capacity, B is the bandwidth of the line, S is the average signal power and N is the average noise power.

How do you calculate theoretical channel capacity?

C = S η log2 e = 1.44 S η . This gives the maximum information transmission rate possible for a system of given power but no bandwidth limitations.
