Consider a noiseless channel with a bandwidth of 1000 Hz transmitting a signal with two signal levels. The maximum bit rate will be —

  1. A.

    2000 bps

  2. B.

    2000 kbps

  3. C.

    1000 bps

  4. D.

    1000 kbps

Attempted by 87 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Nyquist formula:

Use R_max = 2 B log2 M.

  • Given bandwidth B = 1000 Hz and number of signal levels M = 2.

  • Compute log2 M = log2 2 = 1.

  • So R_max = 2 × 1000 × 1 = 2000 bits/sec (2000 bps).
