The Collaborative International Dictionary
baud \baud\ (b[add]d or b[^o]d), n. [Named after J. M. E. Baudot, a French inventor, died 1903.] (Computers, telecommunications) A unit of transmission speed for information conveyed over a digital communications channel, usually taken as equal to the number of bits of information transmitted per second. The speed in bauds indicates the number of signalling events per second; however, since it is necessary in most cases to transmit control information along with the data, the data signalling rate may be smaller than the baud rate.
Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
1932, originally a unit of speed in telegraphy, coined in French in 1929 in honor of French inventor and engineer Jean-Maurice-Émile Baudot (1845-1903), who designed a telegraph printing system.
Wiktionary
n. 1 (context computing telecommunications English) A rate defined as the number of signalling events per second in a data transmission. 2 (context computing informal English) Synonym for bps (bits per second), regardless of how many signalling events are necessary to signal each bit.
WordNet
n. (computer science) a data transmission rate (bits/second) for modems [syn: baud rate]
Wikipedia
In telecommunication and electronics, baud (, unit symbol Bd) is the unit for symbol rate or modulation rate in symbols per second or pulses per second. It is the number of distinct symbol changes (signaling events) made to the transmission medium per second in a digitally modulated signal or a line code.
Digital data modem manufacturers commonly define the baud as the modulation rate of data transmission and express it as bits per second.
Baud is related to gross bit rate expressed as bits per second.
Baud may refer to:
- Baud, symbols per second or pulses per second
