Question

_______ is defined as the rate of change of signal on transmission medium after encoding and modulation have occurred.
1. Cyclic rate
2. Pulse rate
3. Bit rate
4. Baud rate

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Baud rate

Baud Rate is defined as the rate of change of signal on transmission medium after encoding and modulation have occurred.

Baud Rate:

• The baud rate is the rate at which information is transferred to a communication channel.
• The baud rate indicates the number of electrical oscillations per second that occurs within a data transmission.
• Baud rate is commonly used when discussing electronics that use serial communication.
• The higher the band rate, the more bits per second that are transferred.
• In the serial part content, ‘9600 band’ means that the serial port is capable of transferring a maximum of 9600 bits per second.
• At baud rates above 76,800, the cable length will need to be reduced.
• Higher the baud rate, the mere sensitive the able becomes to the quality of installation, due to how much of the wire is untwisted around each device.

​Note:

• Bit rate is the transmission of the number of bits per second whereas baud rate is the number of signal units transmitted per second.
