What is the theoretical maximum capacity (in bps) for a wireless link, with spectrum ranging from 30GHz to 60GHz, and with an SNR of 20dB? (1 point)

The theoretical maximum capacity in bps for this link is 114.3 Gbps

Explanation:

The maximum capacity in bits per second can be calculated by Shannon's channel capacity formula:

C = B*log₂(1 + SNR)

Where B = bandwidth of the channel in Hz

           SNR = Signal to Noise Ratio

We need to use SNR in linear scale not in dB scale so,

SNR = 10log₁₀ (20)

SNR = 13.01

Bandwidth = 60GHz - 30GHz = 30GHz

C = B*log₂(1 + SNR)

   = (30*10⁹)*log₂ (1 + 13.01)

   = 1.143*10¹¹ bps

C = 114.3 Gbps
