Shannon's law

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shannon's law can mean two things:

  • Shannon-Hartley theorem, any statement defining the theoretical maximum rate at which error-free digits can be transmitted over a bandwidth-limited channel in the presence of noise. Shannon's law has applications in telecommunication
  • Shannon's law (Arizona), a law that was established after the 1999 death of teenager Shannon Smith, to punish those who fire gunshots into the air, risking the lives of others
