Belowwewillbrieflyintroducethefrequencyspectrumandbandwidthofcommonsignals.Thefrequencyspectrumofthesoundsignalisroughlyintherangeof20Hzto2000kHz(signalsbelow20Hzareinfrasound,signalsabove2000kHzareultrasound),butamuchnarrowerbandwidthcanproduceacceptablevoicereproductionTherefore,thestandardfrequencyspectrumofthevoicesignalis300Hzto3400Hz,anditsbandwidthis3kHz.ThefrequencyspectrumoftheTVsignalis0to4MHz,soitsbandwidthis4MHz.Asaspecialexample,thebandwidthofamonostablepulsesignalisinfinite.Forbinarysignals,thebandwidthgenerallydependsontheexactshapeofthesignalwaveformandtheorderof0and1.Thegreaterthebandwidthofthesignal,themorefaithfullyitrepresentsthedigitalsequence.

2.2.3ThemaximumdatatransmissionrateofthechannelThenumberofbinarydigitsthatcanbetransmittedwithinaunittimeiscalledthedatatransmissionrate.Theincreaseofthedatatransmissionratemeansthatthetimeoccupiedbyeachbitisreduced,thatis,thecycletimeofthebinarydigitalpulsesequencewillbereduced,andofcoursethepulsewidthwillalsobereduced.Wehavealreadyknownintheprevioussectionthatevenifabinarydigitalpulsesignalpassesthroughanidealchannelwithlimitedbandwidth,waveformdistortionwilloccur,andwhenthebandwidthoftheinputsignalisconstant,thesmallerthechannelbandwidth,thegreatertheoutputwaveformdistortion.Toputitanotherway,whenthebandwidthofthechannelisconstant,thelargerthebandwidthoftheinputsignal,thegreaterthedistortionoftheoutputsignal.Therefore,whenthedatatransmissionrateincreasestoacertainextent(thesignalbandwidthincreasestoacertainextent),thechanneloutputThesignalreceiverontheabovesimplycannotrecoverthetransmitteddigitalsequencefromthedistortedoutputsignal.Thismeansthatevenforanidealchannel,thelimitedbandwidthlimitsthechanneldatatransmissionrate.
