Cripes... This is more complicated than I thought...
I think the one thing we agree on is that the energy loss per pulse is
always the same, no matter what the bps. Therefore the energy loss per unit
time=power loss=heating at 1000bps will be 10 times what it would be at 100bps.
Therefore if Ohm's Law (P=I^2*R) is still to hold for the losses, such that
P(1000bps)=10*P(100bps), the RMS current must have increased by a factor of
sqrt(10). Either that, or Ohm's Law is wrong... I can hear the free energy
kooks getting excited!
I always thought that the RMS current was a linear function of the bps, so
I learned something new today too :)
