Spectral efficiency, often measured in bits per second per Hertz (bps/Hz), is a key performance metric in telecommunications and signal processing. It quantifies how efficiently a given bandwidth is utilized for transmitting information. Essentially, it measures the amount of data that can be transmitted over a given spectral bandwidth of a communication channel. Key points regarding spectral efficiency include: 1. **Units**: Spectral efficiency is typically expressed in units of bps/Hz.
