Consider an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel with bandwidth
and noise power spectral density
. Let
denote the average transmit power constraint.
Which one of the following plots illustrates the dependence of the channel capacity
on the bandwidth
(keeping
and
fixed)?




Explanation:
By Shanon's Channel Capacity Theorem,

Noise Power
(double side band PSD)
.
And given
No are constant,
constant 
Putting (ii) & (iii) in (i) 
Taking 
limit (note the limit)
By L-Hopital's rule
constant
Since only (A) matches the limits, (A) is the correct graph
