rate is that it enters into a theorem due to Shannon which is fundamental to the theory of communications.This theorem is concerned with the rate of transmission of information over a communication channel.While we have used the term communication channel on many occasions,it is well to emphasize at this point,that the term,which is something of an abstraction,is intended to encompass all the features and component parts of the transmission system which introduce noise or limit the bandwidth.Shannons Theorem,Channel Capacity Shannons theorem says that it is possible,in principle,to devise a means whereby a communications system will transmit information with an arbitrarily small probability of error provided that the information rate R is less than or equal to a rate C called the channel capacity.To put the matter more formally,we have the following:Channel CapacityTheorem Given a source of M equally likely messages,with M1,which is generating information at a rate R.Given a channel with channel capacity C.Then,ifRCthere exists a coding technique such that the output of the source may be transmitted over the channel with a probability of error in the received message which may be made arbitrarily small.The important feature of the theorem is that it indicates that for RC transmission may be accomplished without error in the presence of noise.This result is surprising.For in our consideration of noise,say,gaussian noise,we have seen that the probability density of the noise extends to infinity.We should then imagine that there will be some times,however infrequent,when the noise must override the signal thereby resulting in errors.However,Shannons theorem says that this need not cause a message to be in error.Channel CapacityThere is a negative statement associated with Shannons theorem.It states the following:Theorem Given a source of M equally likely messages,with M1,which is generating information at a rate R;then if RC the probability the probability of error is close to unity for every possible set of M transmitter signals.This negative theorem states that if the information rate R exceeds a specified value C,the error probability will increase toward unity as M increases,and that also,generally,in this case where RC,increasing the complexity of the coding results in an increase in the probability of error.Capacity of a Gaussian Channel A theorem which is complementary to Shannons theorem and applies to a channel in which the noise is gaussian is known as the ShannonHartley theorem.Channel CapacityTheorem The channel capacity of a white,bandlimited gaussian channel is C=Blog2(1+S/N)bits/s(2.1)where B is the channel bandwidth,S is the signal power,and N is the total noise within the channel bandwidth,that is,N=B,with 1/2 the(two-ided)power spectral density.This theorem,although restricted to the gaussian channel,is of fundamental importance.First,we find that channels encountered in physical systems generally are,at least approximately,gaussian.Second,it turns out that the results obtained for a gaussian channel often provide a lower bound on the performance of asystem operating over a nongaussian channel.Thus,if a particular encoderdecoder is used with a gaussian channel and an error probability Pe 。
