Question

If there are 16 signal combinations (states) and a baud rate (number of signals/second) of 8000/second, how many bps could I send

Answer 1

Answer:

32000 bits/seconds

Explanation:

Given that :

there are 16  signal combinations (states) = 2⁴

bits  n = 4

and a baud rate (number of signals/second) = 8000/second

Therefore; the number of bits per seconds can be calculated as follows:

Number of bits per seconds = bits  n × number of signal per seconds

Number of bits per seconds =  4 × 8000/second

Number of bits per seconds = 32000 bits/seconds
