baud rate

Cultural  

1. A number related to the speed of data transmission in a system. The rate indicates the number of electrical oscillations per second that occurs within a data transmission. The higher the baud rate, the more bits per second that are transferred.

Example Sentences

At best, the spacecraft’s two transmitters can each only send data back to Earth at a baud rate of one kilobyte per second.

From Forbes

Both baud rate and bps refer to the rate at which the bits within a single frame are sent.

From Project Gutenberg

Modems rarely transfer data at exactly the same speed as their listed baud rate because of static or computer problems.

From Project Gutenberg

There is a difference between bps and baud rate, and the two are often confused.

From Project Gutenberg

Accordingly, neither baud rate nor bps refer accurately to the rate at which information is actually being transferred.
