(computer science) a data transmission rate (bits/second) for modems
In telecommunications and electronics, baud (unit symbol "Bd") is synonymous to symbols per second or pulses per second. ...
A rate defined as the number of signalling events per second in a data transmission; Synonym for bps (bits per second), regardless of how many signalling events are necessary to signal each bit
In common usage the baud rate of a modem is how many bits it can send or receive per second. Technically, baud is the number of times per second that the carrier signal shifts value - for example a 1200 bit-per-second modem actually runs at 300 baud, but it moves 4 bits per baud (4 x 300 = 1200 ...
The number of symbols per second sent over a channel.
A unit of speed in data transmission, or the maximum speed at which data can be sent down a channel. Baud is often equivalent to bits per second. Named after J. M. E. Baudot (died 1903).
A unit of measurement that denotes the number of bits that can be transmitted per second. For example, if a modem is rated at 9600 baud it is capable of transmitting data at a rate of 9600 bits per second.
Unit of measure for serial communication speeds.
Baud was the prevalent measure for data transmission speed until replaced by a more accurate term, bits per second (bits per second).
