摘要: In the information theory community, following “historical” statements are generally well accepted: (1) Hartley did put forth his rule twenty years before Shannon; (2) Shannon’s formula as a fundamental tradeoff between transmission rate, bandwidth, and signal-to-noise ratio came out unexpected in 1948; (3) Hartley’s is inexact while characteristic of additive white Gaussian noise channel; (4) an imprecise relation that not appropriate for capacity communication channel. We show all these four somewhat wrong. fact, careful calculation shows “Hartley’s rule” fact coincides with formula. explain this mathematical coincidence by deriving necessary sufficient conditions on channel such its given construct sequence channels makes link uniform (Hartley) (Shannon) channels.
