What is the commonly used unit for measuring the speed of data transmission?
-
- MegaHertz
- Characters per second
- Bits per second
- Nanoseconds
Correct Option: C
the commonly used unit for measuring the speed of data transmission is bits per second, abbreviated bps. The baud rate is actually the measure of transitions per second. A 56 kbps modem actually only changes its output amplitude, phase, and frequency 1200 times a second, but uses amplitude and phase to encode multiple bits into a single state.
