information can also be represented by a digital signal

For example, a 1 can be encoded as a positive voltage

baseband transmission, the bit rate is 2 times the
bandwidth if we use only the first harmonic in the worst
case. However, the Nyquist formula is more general than

when we have two or more levels of signals.
