Question

A baseband binary message with a bit rate of 16vMbps is transmitted using 8PSK over a channel with a multipath delay spread 20 ns. The carrier frequency is 5 GHz, and the relative velocity between transmitter and receiver is 10 m/s.

a) What is the rate of 8PSK symbols through the channel?

Answer 1

The rate of 8PSK symbols through the channel is 5.33 Msymbols per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of 8PSK symbols through the channel can be calculated by dividing the bit rate of the baseband binary message by the number of bits per symbol in the 8PSK modulation scheme. In 8PSK, each symbol represents 3 bits, so the rate of 8PSK symbols is 16 Mbps / 3 = 5.33 Msymbols per second.
