Question

What os the relationship between bit rate and baud of psk?

Answer 1

While bit rate and baud rate are closely linked, they aren't the same thing. Bit rate is a measure of the number of data bits -- zeros and ones -- that can be transmitted in one second. A bit rate of 2,400 bits per second (bps) for example, would mean 2,400 zeros and ones are transmitted each second.



Baud rate represents the number of times per second a signal (changing from zero to one or one to zero) or symbol (the connection's voltage, frequency or phase) in a communications channel changes state or varies. For example, a 2,400 baud rate means the channel is changing states up to 2,400 times per second. In this case, the baud rate is the same as the bit rate: 2,400 bps, and a bit rate of one equals a baud rate of one.
