what is the difference between bandwidth and chanel capacity? how to calculate them?
 

Bandwidth is the range of frequency that suffers an atenuation less than 3db when the signal pass throught the channel.

Channel Capacity is the maximum information rate that a channel is able to transmite/receive.

The channel capacity and the bandwidth of a channel is related according to Shannon's theorem.

C= B log(1+s/n) see Shannon theorem for more details.
