Signal bandwidth and channel bandwidth

Signal Processing Asked by user51576 on December 12, 2021

I have a channel bandwidth $B_c$ and a signal bandwidth $B_s$ with $B_s<<B_c$. What is the problem when the signal bandwidth is smaller than the channel bandwidth? For example, my channel bandwidth is $B_c=20$ kHz and my signal bandwidth is $B_s = 10$ Hz.

One Answer

No problem at all if $B_s ll B_c$.

However, $B_s = 10text{Hz}$ is considerably small that makes synchronization very difficult especially for low-cost receivers.

For example, Sigfox Ultra Narrow Band uses $10text{Hz}$ bandwidth (are you studying the standard?) that requires precise but expensive oscillators like TCXO. Even with that, there must be random access enhancement to deal with the frequency imprecision.

There is also some effort to design transceivers without TCXO for such narrow bandwidth. Check e.g. Foxy.
