### Does the fundamental frequency affect the bit rate on a wire?

This is from the book Computer Networks by Tennenbaum: The bandwidth is still the width of the band of frequencies that are passed, and the information that can be carried depends only on this ...

### Baud rate vs. Bit rate

When we initialize a serial communication, we usually have to set the baud rate (e.g. 115200) I notice that many people assume that 115200 means 115200 bits per second. However, each baud(signal ...

### Why is the Nyquist data rate lower than the Shannon data rate?

In the book Computer Networks, the author talks about the maximum data rate of a channel. He presents the Nyquist formula : C = 2H log$_2$ V (bits/sec) And gives an example for a telephone line : ...

### Difference between bit rate and baud rate and its origins?

Everyone seems to have different definitions everywhere I look. According to my lecturer: $R_{bit} = \frac{bits}{time}$ $R_{baud} = \frac{data}{time}$ According to manufacturers : \\$ R_{...

### Why is “throughput” called “bandwidth”?

But back in school, I had learned that the "bandwidth" of a communication channel is the frequency of the highest-frequency signal minus that of the lowest-frequency signal that it can carry. Yet in ...

### Signal rate, data rate and bandwidth in digital signals

I'm trying to understand the concept of signal rate and the relation between signal (baud) rate and bandwidth of digital signals from a book about data communication. First, the book distinguishes ...

### What is the speed of a baud rate? - RN42

After wondering/researching about this for days, I finally ask this question: What is the speed (bits per second) of a bluetooth SPP RN-42 device? Is 1 baud = 1 bit (thus 9600 baud = 9600 bits per ...

### Comparison of data transfer between different bandwidths

Which of the following can transfer more data [bps] 10Hz bandwidth over 2s 20Hz bandwidth over 1s It looks like its the same bps but I'm not sure.
