Описание тега baud-rate

In telecommunications and electronics, baud (/ˈbɔːd/, unit symbol "Bd") means symbols per second or pulses per second. A "symbol" being one of several voltage, frequency, or phase changes.

Thus a "baud-rate" refers to the number of signal or symbol changes that occur over time—most commonly per second. A baud rate differs from a bit-rate in that a single symbol transition (baud) can communicate more than one bit during the interval, whereas a bit rate is a single bit per interval.
