= Shannon–Hartley theorem
{wiki=Shannon–Hartley_theorem}
The Shannon–Hartley theorem is a fundamental principle in information theory that provides a formula for calculating the maximum data rate (or channel capacity) that can be transmitted over a communication channel, given a certain bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The theorem is mathematically expressed as: \\\[ C = B \\log_2(1 + \\text\{SNR\}) \\\] Where: - \\( C \\) is the channel capacity in bits per second (bps).
