What is the formula of Shannon equation?

Shannon's formula C = 12log(1+P/N) is the emblematic expression for the information capacity of a communication channel.

How do you calculate Shannon capacity?

C = B * log2(1+ S/N)

where C is the achievable channel capacity, B is the bandwidth of the line, S is the average signal power and N is the average noise power.

What is Shannon's theorem used for?

The Shannon capacity theorem defines the maximum amount of information, or data capacity, which can be sent over any channel or medium (wireless, coax, twister pair, fiber etc.). What this says is that higher the signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio and more the channel bandwidth, the higher the possible data rate.

What is Shannon equation in data communication?

Shannon's law is stated as shown below: C = B log2< (1 + S/N) where: C is the highest attainable error-free data speed in bps that can be handled by a communication channel. B is the bandwidth of the channel in hertz. S is the average signal power received over the bandwidth calculated in watts (or volts squared).
