ON THE REALIZABILITY AND CHANNEL CAPACITY OF PASSIVE TWO-PORTS,
Abstract
The LLFPB two-port network is considered as a communication channel and an integral relation, for its communication capacity is derived. The noise mechanism is assumed to be that due to the Nyquist relation for pertinent real parts, and the channel capacity is given by an interpretation of Shannon's upper bound. It is shown that an ideal signal spectrum is uniquely associated with a given network, this spectrum being a function of the network parameters and the available signal power. It follows that the channel width W of Shannon's upper bound is not a unique number for an LLFPB two-port, but rather, is a function of the signal power S and the noise power N. (Author)
