Questions and Answers

What is the bandwidth of a channel in terms of analog signal?

  • The level of noise present in the channel
  • The range of frequencies that the channel can carry (correct)
  • The type of signal to be transmitted i.e. analog or digital
  • The maximum bit rate supported by the channel

What determines the maximum data rate of a channel?

  • The bandwidth available (correct)
  • The type of signal being transmitted
  • The color of the channel
  • The geographical location of the channel

What is the Nyquist Bit rate derived by Henry Nyquist used for?

  • For a Noiseless Channel (correct)
  • For transmitting analog signals
  • For minimizing distortions in digital signals
  • For determining the bandwidth of a channel
