Relationship between Data Rate and Bandwidth

The concept of effective bandwidth is somewhat fuzzy one. It is the band within which most of the energy is confined. The term “most” in this context is somewhat arbitrary. The important issue here is that, although a given waveform may contain frequencies over a broad range, as a practical matter any transmission medium that is used will be able to accommodate only a limited band of frequencies. This, in turn, limits the data rate that can be carried on the transmission.
