The radio receiver receives a telegraph transmission encoded in Morse code in the form of sinusoidal pulses (Fig. 36.4). The circuit inductance is 100 μH, the capacitance is 250 pF and the active resistance is 0.2 Ohm. Estimate the duty cycle of the pulses t_ska, i.e. the time between two adjacent signals required to prevent them from merging. Assuming that the duration of the “dot” signal is t_dtk=1.5t_rms, and the duration of the “dash” signal t_dash=4.5t_rms, determine the maximum amount of information per unit of time.
