electricpy.shannondata(BW, S, N)

Shannon Data Function.

Function to calculate the maximum data rate that may be achieved given a data channel and signal/noise characteristics using Shannon’s equation.

Parameters:

• BW (float) – Bandwidth of the data channel.

• S (float) – Signal strength (in Watts).

• N (float) – Noise strength (in Watts).

Returns:

C – Capacity of channel (in bits per second)

Return type:

float
