We have two digital modulations, both are the same, the only different is the symbol rate. Usually low symbol rate modulation have less BER than high symbol rate modulation. But my question is if in the case of a bad carrier stability, high symbol rate modulation could have less BER than low symbol rate modulation. I think answer is YES, but i am not sure.

I think answer is YES, but i am not sure.The answer is NO. High bitrate: 0101010101010101.... Low bitrate: 0000111100001111.... Think about it. VLV

F0= 1000 Hz F1= 2000 Hz Frecuency carrier error maximum: +-10 Hz. Then, signal received during interval of 1 bit, for example could be: F0= 1006 Hz F1= 1997 Hz At 1 baud signal received is out of the range of the macht filter.

Modify the receiver accordingly. VLV

How can you get that kind of frequency error? cheap crystals are good to a part in 10e-7. Nobody with any sense would assign two frequencies in simple harmonic relation.> Then, signal received during interval of 1 bit, for example could be: > > F0= 1006 Hz > F1= 1997 Hz > > At 1 baud signal received is out of the range of the macht filter.The longer the symbol lasts, the more time there is to integrate.
