What is bit rate symbol?

The bit rate is expressed in the unit bit per second (symbol: bit/s), often in conjunction with an SI prefix such as kilo (1 kbit/s = 1,000 bit/s), mega (1 Mbit/s = 1,000 kbit/s), giga (1 Gbit/s = 1,000 Mbit/s) or tera (1 Tbit/s = 1,000 Gbit/s).

How do you calculate bits per symbol?

The bits per symbol is the (modulation's power of 2) × (Forward Error Correction). So for example, in 64-QAM modulation 64 = 2⁶ so the bits per symbol is 6.

What is the number of bits per symbol in BPSK?

For BPSK , one symbol (carrier phase) represents one bit and hence symbol rate equals bit rate. Similarly in AM modulation, each signal element carry one binary data and hence symbol rate or baud rate is same as bit rate. In QPSK modulation, 2 bits are represented by one symbol or signal waveform.

How many bits is an OFDM symbol?

With 4 bit per symbol, 16-QAM, the maximum rises to 48 Mbps. Finally, using 64-QAM, which represents six bits of information with each symbol, the 12 megabaud channel is capable of 72 Mbps.

How many bits are in a 16-QAM symbol?

Each symbol in the constellation contains up to 4 bits (0s and 1s) in a 16-QAM scheme. Therefore, the number of combinations that are possible using 4 binary bits is 24 = 16, with each state or symbol containing a value from 0000 to 1111.
