bitssHz
BitssHz is a term sometimes used to refer to spectral efficiency, defined as the amount of digital data that can be transmitted over a given bandwidth per unit of bandwidth. In most technical contexts this efficiency is expressed in bits per second per hertz (bps/Hz). BitssHz is not a formal SI unit; it is an informal or shorthand label found in some texts and industry materials to emphasize the per-hertz basis of the metric.
Mathematically, bitssHz can be described as η = R / B, where R is the achieved data rate in
Measurement and interpretation of bitssHz require careful accounting for overhead such as signaling, control channels, and
Examples: a data link delivering 100 Mbps over 20 MHz yields η = 5 bits/s/Hz. Systems with modest
Note: bitssHz is an informal term; standard references typically use bits per second per hertz (bps/Hz) or
