An analog signal carries 4 bits in each signal unit. If 1000 signal units are sent per second, then baud rate and bit rate of the signal are _______ and _______.

  1. A.

    4000 bauds \ sec & 1000 bps

  2. B.

    2000 bauds \ sec & 1000 bps

  3. C.

    1000 bauds \ sec & 500 bps

  4. D.

    1000 bauds \ sec & 4000 bps

Attempted by 762 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Solution:

  • Baud rate is the number of signal units sent per second. Given 1000 signal units per second, the baud rate = 1000 bauds/sec.

  • Bit rate = bits per signal unit × signal units per second. With 4 bits per signal unit and 1000 signal units/s: bit rate = 4 × 1000 = 4000 bps.

Final answer: 1000 bauds/sec and 4000 bps.
