Generally, but bit rate can be defined as any bit per unit of time so it could also refer to bits per minute, bits per hour or bits per day or bits per year etc...

For the most part though bit rate is bits per second.

Whose transmission rate is faster?

The one who transmits more data bits in the same length of time, or the same number of data bits in less time, has the faster transmission rate.


Why A tradition phone line has a sampling rate of 2400 baud but a baud is not a bit while the data transfer rate of telephone line is greater then 2400 signal per second?

Baud rate is the number of samples per second. Data transfer rate is the number of bits per second. Since the analog phone line can have more than two values at any one sample, this translates to more bits per second than baud.There is a tendency to confuse baud rate with data rate. The two terms are not always the same.


What is the file size for 4 Mbps?

Mbps is not a file size, but a file transfer rate. It stands for "mega bits per second", in the same way that kbpsstands for "kilo bits per second".Bits, however, are different from bytes. Bytes are made of 8 bits. A kilobyte (kb) is 1024 bytes(because computing uses multiples of 4, like 8, 16, 32, 64...etc), and a megabyte (mb) is 1024 kilobytesBecause 8 bits make a byte, a kilobyte is 8192 bits, but 1024 bytes.Coming back to the question, if your transfer rate is 4 mbps, and the transfer lasts for 10 seconds, the file size is 5 megabytes.Be careful though, because Mbps = megabits per second, but MBps = megabytes per second.


Is speed the same thing as rate?

No....


How do you converion baud rate to symbol rate?

baud rate = symbol rate= modulation rate all the same thing


How many mega bits are in 2.5 giga bits?

Multiply that by 1024 to get 2560 megabits. Note that a bit is not the same thing as a byte. A bit is an eighth of a byte.


What is the relationship between unit rates slopes and constant rate of change?

Unit rate, slope, and rate of change are different names for the same thing. Unit rates and slopes (if they are constant) are the same thing as a constant rate of change.


Is one kilobit per second the same as 1 million bits per second?

No, kilo means 1000 (approx 1000 in computing)


Is it possible for bit rate to change while symbol rate stays the same?

Yes. Different code rates change the number of bits conveyed by each symbol. Therefore, the bit rate will change.


What is the bandwidth of N bit binary coded PCM?

It is same as the bit rate. B = R = nfs where n= no of bits fs= sampling frequency R= bit rate


What are the differences between frequency bit rate and baud?

Frequency refers to the number of cycles per second in a signal, bit rate is the number of bits transmitted per second, and baud represents the signaling rate of a line. While frequency is a physical characteristic of a signal, bit rate and baud are more related to data transmission and the efficiency of the communication channel.
