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. The term was derived from the name of J.M.E. Baudot, a French pioneer in the field of printing telegraphy.

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 bits per second).

The number of symbols per second sent over a channel.

The rate per second at which, e.g. a modem, can transmit groups of binary digits. Example, a dial-up modem operating at 14,400 baud and sending 4 bits per baud transition would transmit 57,600 bits per second. Hence the baud rate determines the overall modem speed. bcc:
