What is sample 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 symbol rate sampling?

The symbol rate is measured in baud (Bd) or symbols per second. In the case of a line code, the symbol rate is the pulse rate in pulses per second. Each symbol can represent or convey one or several bits of data. The symbol rate is related to the gross bit rate, expressed in bits per second.

What is symbol rate in digital communication?

In digital modulation, the Symbol Rate determines the rate (frequency) at which symbols occur. A symbol may consist of one or more bits as determined by the modulation format. For example, in a BPSK. system, each symbol represents 1 bit; in a QPSKQuadrature phase shift keying system, each symbol represents 2 bits.
