For a channel of 3 KHz bandwidth and signal to noise ratio of 30 dB, the maximum data rate is :
By Shannon's theorem the maximum data rate of a noisy channel is \(C = B\log_2(1 + S/N)\). A signal-to-noise ratio of 30 dB means \(S/N = 10^{30/10} = 1000\), so \(C = 3000…

Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
By Shannon's theorem the maximum data rate of a noisy channel is . A signal-to-noise ratio of 30 dB means , so bps, or about 30,000 bps. The figure of 6000 bps is the Nyquist rate for a noiseless channel with only two signal levels, which leaves the noise out of account.
