Overview
Bandwidth
Shannons theorem
Bandwidth
Signal bandwidth:
We can divide signals into two categories: The pure tone signal
(the sinusoidal wave, consisting of one frequency component), and
complex signals that are composed of several components, or
sinusoids of various frequencies.
T=1x10-3 s

f=1/1x10-3

square wave
(ms)
The resulting wave resembles a square wave. If more sine waves of other frequencies
were added, the resulting waveform would more closely resemble a square wave
Since the resulting wave contains 2 frequency components, its bandwidth is around
450-150=300 Hz.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio
1000/20=50 (unitless!)
or: about 17 dB ==> 10 log10 1000/20 = 16.9897 dB
