Page Shift Keying (PSK) Method is used to modulate digital signal at 9600 bps using 16 level. Find the line signals and speed (i.e. modulation rate).

  • A.2400 bauds
  • B.1200 bauds
  • C.4800 bauds
  • D.9600 bauds

Answer: A

The modulation rate is 2400 bauds.

With 16 levels each signal element carries \(\log_2 16 = 4\) bits, so the baud rate is the bit rate divided by 4:

\[ \text{baud rate} = \frac{9600}{\log_2 16} \]

\[ = \frac{9600}{4} = 2400 \]

1200 bauds (B) would need 8 bits per signal element, which means 256 levels. 4800 bauds (C) comes from taking 2 bits per element, which is 4 levels, and 9600 bauds (D) would be right only if each element carried one bit.
