What is bit rate? How is it related to bandwidth? [closed]

Bit rate defines the amount of data or information that is transmitted from a source during a specified time period. Bandwidth is the maximum rate at which bits can be transferred from a source to a destination across a given path or medium.

What is it meant by bit rate?

ˈbit-ˌrāt. : a measure of the speed of data processing usually calculated as the number of bits per second. MP3 measures compression settings in terms of a file's bit rate—the average number of bits required for one second of sound. Jim Heid.

What is baud rate and how does it relate to bit rate?

The Baud rate refers to the total number of signal units transmitted in one second. The Bit rate refers to the total Bits transmitted in one unit time. Baud rate indicates the total number of times the overall state of a given signal changes/ alters. Bit rate indicates the total bits that travel per second.

How are bandwidth and data rate related?

Bandwidth is a measure of the transmission capacity of a network over a specific period of time. It is the rate at which a link may send or receive bits per second. Data rate is used to measure how fast data is transferred from one point to another. It refers to the actual amount of data transferred.

How bandwidth and number of bits sample are related?

C(bps) = 2B * log₂M (Nyquist)

C is the capacity in bits per second, B is the frequency bandwidth in Hertz, and M is the number of levels a single symbol can take on. This "idealized" capacity equation shows us that data rate is proportional to twice the bandwidth and logarithmically proportional to M.
