Why does a mobile network channel experience reduced throughput when the signal-to-noise ratio decreases?

💡 Explanation

Reduced SNR increases uncertainty (entropy) in the received signal. Because channel capacity is directly related to bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio, a lower SNR reduces the maximum achievable data rate; therefore, capacity diminishes rather than amplifier saturation or impedance mismatch dominating.
