Aspects to digital-to Analog conversion


• Bit Rate / Baud Rate
– Bit rate is the number of bits per second. Baud rate is the number of
signal units per second. Baud rate is less than or equal to the bit rate.
– Bit rate is important in computer efficiency
– Baud rate is important in data transmission.
• Baud rate determines the bandwidth required to send signal
– Baud rate = bit rate / # bits per signal unit

– An analog signal carries 4 bits in each signal unit. If 1000 signal units are
sent per second, find the baud rate and the bit rate
• Baud rate = 1000 bauds per second (baud/s) Bit rate = 1000 x 4 = 4000 bps
– The bit rate of a signal is 3000. If each signal unit carries 6 bits, what is
the baud rate?
• Baud rate = 3000/6 =500 bauds/sec

On/Off keying

• The strength of the carrier signal is varied to represent binary 1 and 0.


• Frequency and phase remains the same.
• Highly susceptible to noise interference.
• Used up to 1200 bps on voice grade lines, and on optical fiber.
