a)What is the symbol rate (baud rate) of a binary system if 12 kbits are transmitted in 8 seconds?
1. 1500 baud
2. 1000 baud
3. 2000 baud
4. 2500 baud
b)
What is the percentage of overhead for transimitting a 7-bit code using 2 stop bit and 1 parity bit ?
1. 22%
2. 30%
3. 6%
4. 40%
Jump to Postbit rate = baud rate when over 110, so for 1st question, 12000/8 = 1500 baud
For the 2nd question, total bits sent = 7 bit data, 2 stop bits, 1 bit parity = 10 bits. 2 stop bits + 1 parity bit = 3 bits. 3/10 = …
Jump to PostFor the baud rate, did I incorrectly assume you were talking about modem speed?
The Gross Bitrate can be expressed as R = bitrate*log_base2(M) where R is the rate and M is the number of distinct messages.
For Rs232, each character frame has 1 start bit, the …

For question 1 --> i thought isn't the formula baud rate = bit rate /log base 2 M
so --> baud rate 12000/8 = 1500 bits/s / ??? then how you get 1500 baud??? please explain?
isnt their suppose to have a start bit to calculte the answer?
For the baud rate, did I incorrectly assume you were talking about modem speed?
The Gross Bitrate can be expressed as R = bitrate*log_base2(M) where R is the rate and M is the number of distinct messages.
For Rs232, each character frame has 1 start bit, the data bits, the parity bit (optional), and the stop bit(s).
The start bit is the transition from negative voltage to positive. All rs232 communication has 1 start bit, it's just assumed to be there. I didn't include the 1 start bit in the math.
7 data bits + 1 Parity bit + 2 stop bit = 10 bit total with 3 being used for control. 30%. If you included the 1 start bit, you'd get 1+7+1+2. 11 bits total with 4 for overhead with is something like 36.36363636% IIRC Assuming the start bit is not included is the only way to get one of the multiple choice answers.
sorry i have mistakenly type in the wrong question!!
Question 15 of 25
What is the percentage of overhead for transimitting a 7-bit code using 2 stop bit and 1 parity bit ?
22%.
30%.
36%.
40%
Now should i take into consideration of the "start bit" to get the answer?
If you included the 1 start bit, you'd get 1+7+1+2. 11 bits total with 4 for overhead with is something like 36.36363636%
