At a glance:Nyquist Bit Rate Calculator: enter parameters to compute results; complements related calculators.

Formula

R = 2 · B · log₂(M).

How to Use

  1. Enter bandwidth B, levels M.
  2. It returns max bit rate (bps).

Case Studies

B=3 kHz, M=4 → 12 kbps

log₂4 = 2.

FAQ

vs Shannon?

Nyquist is the noiseless limit; with noise Shannon capacity is lower.
