Channel Performance Measures
These are examples of commonly used channel capacity and performance measures:
- Spectral bandwidth in Hertz
- Symbol rate in baud, pulses/s or symbols/s
- Digital bandwidth bit/s measures: gross bit rate (signalling rate), net bit rate (information rate), channel capacity, and maximum throughput
- Channel utilization
- Link spectral efficiency
- Signal-to-noise ratio measures: signal-to-interference ratio, Eb/No, carrier-to-interference ratio in decibel
- Bit-error rate (BER), packet-error rate (PER)
- Latency in seconds: propagation time, transmission time
- Delay jitter

Famous quotes containing the words channel, performance and/or measures:
“For, rightly, every man is a channel through which heaven floweth, and, whilst I fancied I was criticising him, I was censuring or rather terminating my own soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious? I know of many systems of religion esteemed heathenish whose precepts fill the reader with shame, and provoke him to new endeavors, though it be to the performance of rites merely.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“the dread
That how we live measures our own nature,
And at his age having no more to show
Than one hired box should make him pretty sure
He warranted no better,”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
