Digital Modes
• Overview
• Data speeds. (Clear as mud?)
• Data rate = Bits per second (bps).
• Symbol rate = Symbols per second (baud).
• Data rate = symbol rate only if 1 symbol = 1 bit.
• Duty cycle considerations.
• Most digital modes are 100% duty cycle.
• Most modern transmitters must reduce output power to
avoid exceeding maximum average power output.
Digital Modes

increases.
• BW = B x K
• B = Symbol rate in bauds.
