How does modulation affect data rates

Modulation significantly affects data rates by determining how many bits of data each symbol in a signal represents. Here's a deeper look at how modulation impacts data rates:

Modulation Techniques

Modulation techniques vary in complexity and efficiency. Some common modulation techniques include:

• Amplitude Modulation (AM)
• Frequency Modulation (FM)
• Phase Modulation (PM)
• Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)
• Phase Shift Keying (PSK)
