Bps to Hz Conversion Explanation

In telecommunications, converting data rate from bits per second (Bps) to Hertz (Hz) involves determining the symbol rate, which depends on the number of bits represented by each symbol. The relationship is given by:

\[ \text{Symbol Rate (Hz)} = \frac{\text{Data Rate (Bps)}}{\text{Bits per Symbol}} \]

For example, if the data rate is 2400 Bps and each symbol represents 2 bits, the symbol rate would be:

\[ \text{Symbol Rate} = \frac{2400 \text{ Bps}}{2 \text{ bits per symbol}} = 1200 \text{ Hz} \]

This conversion is essential in digital communications, as it helps determine the bandwidth needed for a signal to transmit data efficiently.
