← ScienceWhich mechanism limits maximum data transmission rate when radio waves propagate between antennas?
A)Path loss from signal dispersion
B)Antenna gain from impedance mismatch
C)Bandwidth limitations from channel noise✓
D)Polarization mismatch from Faraday rotation
💡 Explanation
When transmitting radio waves, bandwidth limitation occurs, because channel noise increases with frequency, which reduces signal-to-noise ratio and limits information capacity per unit bandwidth. Therefore option C is correct, rather than the other choices which describe related, but distinct issues of signal dispersion, impedance matching, and polarization rotation.
