[2]
Question 4
4.1 The maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over a given communication path, or
channel, under given conditions, is referred to as the channel capacity. Mention four factors
that affect channel capacity.
[4]
4.2 What the three causes signal degradation and bit errors between signal received and signal
transmitted?
