Question

1) If both the bandwidth and time of transmission double, whathappens to the capacity? 2) We have a transmit antenna that is 40 feet tall and areceiving antenna that is 30 feet tall. They are separtated by 18miles. Will this combination work?hy or why not 1) If both the bandwidth and time of transmission double, whathappens to the capacity? 2) We have a transmit antenna that is 40 feet tall and areceiving antenna that is 30 feet tall.

Explanation / Answer

The bandwidth of a transmissionchannel is the frequency interval over which the signal does notexperience line loss greater than a certain value (generally 3 dB,as 3 decibels corresponds to a signal loss of 50%)

A telephone line, for example, has a bandwidthof between 300 and 3400 Hertz approximately for an attenuation rateof 3 dB.

The capacity of a channel is the amount ofinformation (in bits) that can be transmitted on the channel in 1second.
Capacity is characterised by the following formula:
