Abstract :
This article considers the analysis of the capacity of a discrete-input continuous-output Gaussian channel. A lower bound on the information rate is obtained and compared with previous results in the literature. The bound is shown to be very tight and amenable for computation in place of the actual formula for the system capacity, which involves a time consuming numerical integration
