QUESTION:
A telephone line has a bandwidth of 4.5 kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 40dB. A
signal is transmitted down this line using a four level code. What is the maximum
theoretical data rate?
Choices:

a. 59.795 kbps b. 18 kbps c. 78 kbps d. 41.795 kbps

ANSWER:

b. 18 kbps
SOLUTION ( IF PROBLEM -SOLVING)

C = 2Blog2M = 2(4.5x103)log2(4) = 18 kbps

S/N = antilog (40/10) = 10000

C = Blog2(1+S/N) = (4.5x103)log2(1+10000) = 59.795 kbps

Since both results are maxima, we take the lesser of the two, 18 Kbps...
