What is meant by channel capacity?

The channel capacity, C, is defined to be the maximum rate at which information can be transmitted through a channel. The fundamental theorem of information theory says that at any rate below channel capacity, an error control code can be designed whose probability of error is arbitrarily small.

What does channel capacity depend on?

Channel Capacity Channel capacity of the wireless underground channel depends on the soil moisture, operation frequency, and bandwidth of the antenna. Impact of different factors on the channel capacity are shown in the following.

What is channel capacity formula?

C = S η log2 e = 1.44 S η . This gives the maximum information transmission rate possible for a system of given power but no bandwidth limitations.
