I have read in various literature books that the baud rate generator in a UART module should generate a signal whose sampling frequency is exactly 16 times the UART's designated baud rate. For a 57600 baud rate, the sampling rate of the signal would therefore be => 16 x 57600 => 921600 samples per second, am i right? Given that I would then need to multiply this signal by a carrier wave and then output it using a DAC (PMOD DA2) whose sampling rate is that of 1000000 samples per second, would I need to up-sample this signal ?

And now the question: WHY? In my RS232 code there is no specific oversampling with a correlated rate, instead I simply wait a bit time to read in the next bit value. Given that, I oversample a 57k6Bd signal with e.g. 100MHz and thefore by a factor of nearly 1700... > Given that I would then need to multiply this signal by a carrier wave Again: Why? What is it good for to multiply a more or less randomly chosen internal signal with a carrier?
I am multiplying the received signal with the carrier since i need to modulate this signal for my project purpose. The question is, given that i am going to pass the modulated signal through a dac whose sampling rate is that of 1Msps would i have to upsample the signal received from uart before i do the modulation part? Do you have any idea how i would get to know the sampling rate of the received signal from uart?
