Confusion between samples per second and samples per symbol

1. What does sample per symbol mean?
2. What is samples per second?
3. How do you calculate sample per symbol?
4. When the sampling rate becomes exactly equal to samples per second it is called?

What does sample per symbol mean?

Samples Per Symbol. Samples per symbol determine the acquisition bandwidth. The bandwidth occupied by the transmitted signal is based on the modulation type, symbol rate, and pulse-shaping filter used. To successfully perform demodulation, the analyzer must acquire the complete bandwidth.

What is samples per second?

1. sps: Samples per second. In data conversion, an analog signal is converted to a stream of numbers, each representing the analog signal's amplitude at a moment in time. Each number is called a "sample." The number sample per second is called the sampling rate, measured in samples per second.

How do you calculate sample per symbol?

The samples per symbol, sps, is usually not explicitly chosen but is determined from the symbol rate of the signal, F, and sample rate, Fs, on a particular platform: sps=FsF.

When the sampling rate becomes exactly equal to samples per second it is called?

The Sampling Theorem

The sampling rate of 2W samples per second is called the Nyquist rate.
