Bit Rate / Baud Rate / Multisymbol Transmission
1

A digital transmission use binary signalling. The bit rate is 200kbps.

Determine the baud rate.
(200kbaud M = 2)

A digital data source wishes to transmit data at a rate of 100kbps.

However the communication channel can only transmit signals at a rate of
50kbaud. Determine the minimum number of symbols required for the
transmission.
(M = 4)

A digital transmission uses a signalling baud rate of 1Mbaud and 16

symbols. Determine the bit rate, bit interval and symbol interval.
(4Mbps, 0.25secs, 1sec)

A digital data source transmits data at a rate of 2Mbps with 16 possible

symbols. What is the minimum baud rate required from the communication
channel and what is the maximum
(500kbaud)

A digital transmission system transmits data at a rate of 120kbps. The

channel maximum baud rate is 50 kbaud. Determine how many symbols
must be used and the baud rate?
(n = 3, M = 8, rs = 40kbaud)

A communication channel is capable of transmitting symbols with a

maximum baud rate of 200kbaud. A digital source wishes to transmit data
at a rate of 150kbps. How many symbols are required?
