Abstract

A series expression for evaluating the channel capacity of the binary input AWGN channel is developed which precludes the necessity of numerical integration. This series expression is compact and easy to evaluate. In addition, tight upper and lower bounds are developed for the binary input AWGN channel capacity. These bounds also provide good approximations for the capacity and are within 0.1% relative error (within 0.01% for upper bound) for C ≥ 0.457 and a corresponding Eb/N0 ≥ 0 dB.
