The Shannon formula, also known as the Shannon-Hartley theorem, is a mathematical formula that describes the theoretical maximum rate of data transmission over a communication channel, subject to certain conditions.
The formula was developed by Claude Shannon, an American mathematician and electrical engineer, in the late 1940s. It states that the maximum rate at which information can be transmitted over a channel, known as the channel capacity, is given by:
where C is the channel capacity in bits per second, B is the bandwidth of the channel in hertz, S is the signal power in watts, and N is the noise power in watts.
The Shannon formula shows that the channel capacity increases with increasing bandwidth and signal power, but is limited by the presence of noise in the channel. The formula also assumes that the channel is linear and time-invariant, meaning that its properties do not change over time.
