Bit Rate - Baud Rate

Question

An analog signal has a bit rate of 8000 bps and a baud rate of 1000.
Then analog signal has _____ signal elements and carry _____ data elements in each signal.
(A) 256, 8 bits
(B) 128, 4 bits
(C) 256, 4 bits
(D) 128, 8 bits

Comments

Each signal carrying 8 bits data element but how to find first one?

Answer 1

Option (a)

we know that bit rate=baud rate *log m base 2

here bit rate =8000 bps ,baud rate =1000

=>8000 =1000 *log m base 2

m=2^8=256

and number of bits =8

Comments

Is this an important formula?

bit rate=baud rate *log m base 2

what is m in the above expression
