- But they have already!
-
- You can expect a minimum bandwidth of 2400 Hz (from 400Hz to 2800Hz),
- and a signal to noise ratio of 24 dB. It won't take too long to
- relate that to v.32bis protocols!
-
- You can expect a maximum bandwidth of about 3500 Hz (from 100Hz to
- 3600Hz) at a S/N of 36 dB. It won't take long to relate that to
- v.34 28.8Kbps and 33.6Kbps protocols.
-
- Hmmm...
-
- The maximum bps is directly derived from bandwidth and S/N, and
- in practice matches theory.
