ABSTRACT
establishes the relationships determining the quantity of information carried by discrete and continuous signals. It is shown that upper bound of information quantity, which can be transmitted by discrete random sequence, is determined by a xvinumber of symbols of the sequence only, and doesn’t depends on code base (alphabet size). It is underlined that the reason here can not be elucidated by both the absence of necessary technical means and ill effect of interference/ noise, because this fact is stipulated by fundamental property of information, i.e. by its ability to exist exclusively within a statistical collection of structural elements of its carrier (the signal). On the basis of introduced information quantity measure, the relationships are established, that determine the capacity of discrete and continuous noiseless communication channels. Boundedness of capacity of both discrete and continuous noiseless channels is proved. Chapter 5 is finished with the examples of evaluating the capacity of noiseless channel matched with stochastic stationary signal characterized by quite certain informational properties.
