Morse code is usually heard at the receiver as a medium-pitched on/off audio tone (600–1000 Hz)
That’s why for the signal frequency I have choosen 800 Hz, which is exactly in the
middle between mostly used frequencies 600-1000 Hz.
The unit length is equal to 50 ms which is 1/20 of a second. This unit length can give typing speed around 25 wpm (words per minute).
Morse code is composed of five elements:
- Dot – one unit long
- Dash – three units long
- Gaps between dots and dashes within character – one unit duration
- Gaps between letters – three units long
- Gaps between words – seven units long
