Suppose that for such a continuous channel with added white Gaussian noise, the ratio of signal power to noise power is given as 30 decibels, and the frequency bandwidth B of this channel is now 10 MHz. Determine the information capacity of this noisy channel, in bits per second, and the number of signal levels needed to achieve it.

c)

i) Consider a noisy continuous communication channel of bandwidth B = 1 MHz, which is perturbed by additive white Gaussian noise whose total spectral power is N0B = 1 W. Continuous signals are transmitted across such a channel, with average transmitted power S = 1,023 W. Give a numerical estimate for the channel capacity, in bits per second, of this noisy channel.
