We want to transmit 800 characters/s, where each character is represented by its 7-bit ASCII codeword, followed by an eighth bit for error detection, per character, as in Problem 2.1. A multilevel PAM waveform with M = 16 levels is used. (a) What is the effective transmitted bit rate? (b) What is the symbol rate?
