Abstract:
A more detailed representation of Shannon's formula for determining the channel capacity is developed. In a modified form it takes into account the parameters of the signal in both time and frequency range. One of the components introduced to the modified ratio of the Shannon communication channel throughput is the uncertainty relation. A new method of calculating the uncertainty relation for the signals is proposed and described. Examples of calculations of the uncertainty relation for different classes of signals using existing methods and the proposed approach are presented.
