Baud Rate

The speed at which telecommunicated data is

transmitted, measured in bytes-per-second (BPS).
www.visionsofadonai.com/onrampglossary.html
Informally, the number of bits of computer information
transmitted per second. MIDI transmissions have a
baud rate of 31,250 (31.25 kilobaud), while modems
typically have a much lower rate of 2,400, 9,600, or
14,400 baud.
www.tagnet.org/digitalhymnal/en/glossary_a-l.html
The transmission rate at which data flows between
computers. The baud rate is roughly equivalent to the
number of bits per second (bps).
www.trainingfinder.org/CDC_lingo.htm
The number of transitions per second made by a
modem.
www.education-world.com/help/glossary.shtml
The rate of symbols per second ( not the rate of bits
per second. )
www.expeditevcs.com/terms.htm
The number of discrete signal events per second that
occur on a communications channel.
www.notepage.net/wireless-messaging-glossary.htm
A rate of data transfer, usually used to measure data
rates over a phone line.

Named for JME Baudot, the inventor of the Baudot
telegraph code. The number of electrical oscillations per
second, called "baud rate". Related to, but not the
same as transfer rate in bits per second, (bps). Bit
Depth The total number of bits available to represent
each pixel or color sample in a digital imaging system,
or the bits available to represent each sample in a
digital audio system.

A measure of the speed of data transmission between
computer and other devices, measured in bits per
second.

Speed at which data travels through a modem,
measured in bps (bits per second). Most modems today
range from 2400 to over 50,000 bps.
www.devel.legend.co.uk/resources/gloss.html
An older measure of the speed at which data is sent
over a modem connection, amongst other things.
Frequently used interchangeably, though erroneously,
with bits per second. (there are highly obscure
technical differences in meaning between the two
terms: baud rate refers to state changes, not absolute
data throughput.)

Baud rate is related to transmission speed. As far as
RS-232/422/485 interfaces are concerned, baud rate is
measured in bps (bits per second).
www.moxa.acceed.com/services/glossary.htm
Refers to the speed of data transmission.

OSSARY/b.html
The speed of operation of a device or communication
channel measured in pulses per second (bit/s).

Another name for baud. Although the word rate in
this context is redundant (since baud is the number of
signal events per second), the combination baud rate
is used frequently in the literature.
amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary/browse
a speed measurement for communication. It indicates
the number of bit transfers per second. For example,
300 baud is 300 bits per second. When we refer to a
clock cycle we mean the baud rate. For example, if the
protocol calls for a 4800 baud rate, then the clock is
running at 4800Hz. This means that the serial port is
sampling the data line at 4800Hz. Common baud rates
for telephone lines are 14400, 28800, and 33600. ...

A measure of the speed at which data moves between
computer and a remote terminal across telephone lines.
Also referred to as bits per seconds (tips).
www.seattlecentral.org/faculty/jshoop/glossary.html
A way of expressing the speed of a Modem in bits per
second. A number such as 9600 baud means that the
Modem has the ability to send and receive data at the
rate of 9600 bits per second.
www.binarygraphics.com/glossary/hardware.html
The number of binary bits transmitted per second on a
serial communications link such as RS-232.
www.servomag.com/reference/glossary.htm
A measurement of the amount of data or symbols that
can be transmitted per second. This is not always the
same as the bps (bits per second) rate because a given
symbol, or baud, may have more than one bit.
www.mnta.org/publications/publications_industry_gloss
ary.html
The number of electronic signals that can be
transmitted on a communications channel every
second. In most cases, this is the same (or very nearly
so) as the common "cycles per second" and "bits per
second" (bps) ratings used for most computer and
consumer communications applications and devices,
such as modems, but in some engineered situations
several bits can be transmitted within one signal pulse,
so bps ratings can be higher than baud rates.
www.techwriter.co.nz/nerd-ad.html
In computers the speed at which a modem can
transmit data.
www.horizonmedia.com/glossary/b.htm
The speed at which a modem sends and receives
messages. Usually measured in bits-per-second. A 56k
modem sends approximately 56 kilobytes per second
(kbps).
www.lehigh.edu/~kko2/wwd/glossary.html
The transmission speed of data over an analog phone
line. Baud rate refers to the number of signals per
second . It is often confused with bps, which is actually
the number of bits per second (each signal can
represent more than one bit of data). The bps is usually
higher than the baud rate. For example, a 9,600 bps
modem is, in reality, a 2,400 baud modem.
www.snapsinc.com/support/glossary2.htm
a measure of the speed of serial communication using a
modem or null-modem, roughly equivalent to bits per
second.

baud: (computer science) a data transmission rate
(bits/second) for modems

In telecommunications and electronics, baud
(pronounced ) is a measure of the "signaling rate"
which is the number of changes to the transmission
media per second in a modulated signal. It is named
after mile Baudot, the inventor of the Baudot code for
telegraphy.
