Multiple choice

Maximum data rate of a channel for a noiseless 3 KHz binary channel is

  1. 1, 500 bps

  2. 3, 000 bps

  3. 6, 000 bps

  4. none of these

C Correct answer
Explanation

For a noiseless channel, the Nyquist theorem states the maximum data rate is 2 * bandwidth * log2(V), where V is the number of signal levels. For a binary channel, V=2, so rate = 2 * 3000 * 1 = 6000 bps.
