WBJECA 2025 — Computer PYQ
WBJECA | Computer | 2025Maximum data rate of a channel for a noiseless 3 KHz binary channel is
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
3000 bps
- B.
6000 bps
(Correct Answer) - C.
1500 bps
- D.
None of these
6000 bps
Explanation
To find the maximum data rate for a noiseless channel, we use the Nyquist Bit Rate formula. The formula is defined as:
Maximum Data Rate=2×B×log2(L)
Where:
B = Bandwidth of the channel (in Hertz)
L = Number of signal levels (for a binary channel, L=2)
Given Data:
B=3 KHz=3000 Hz
L=2 (Since it is a binary channel)
Calculation:
Substituting these values into the formula:
Data Rate=2×3000×log2(2)
Since log2(2)=1:
Data Rate=2×3000×1=6000 bps
Therefore, the maximum data rate is 6000 bps.
Correct Option: (B) 6000 bps
