View Answer
Explanation: The capacity of the channel is given by a maximum rate of information transmitted.
5. In a communication system, a process in which statistical averages and time averages are equal is called as
a) Stationary
b) Ergodic
c) Gaussian
d) Poisson
View Answer
Explanation: In ergodic process statistical averages and time averages are equal.
