Shannon Formula (Noisy Channel)

Calculates the upper limit for the data rate for the physical transmission material.

$$V_{S} = B \cdot \log_{2}(1+SNR)$$ $V_{S}$: Data rate $[\text{bit} / s]$ or $[\text{BPS}]$ $B$: Bandwidth $[\text{Hz}]$ $SNR$: Signal-to-noise ratio

Note: this does not take signal levels into a count.
