How do you calculate the baud rate for a 72000 bps 64-QAM signal?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! To calculate the baud rate for a 72000 bps 64-QAM signal, you simply divide the bit rate by the number of bits per symbol. In this case, for 64-QAM, each symbol represents 6 bits (2^6 = 64), so the baud rate would be 72000 bps divided by 6, which equals 12000 baud. Just remember, there are no mistakes, only happy little accidents in the world of calculations!
