Baud Rate
The number of signal changes (per second) that occur during transmission is known as the "baud rate." The bit rate, or the number of bits per second that the user can force through the transmission system, may be lower or higher than the baud rate. The number of bits sent divided by the entire time (in seconds) is the bit rate.
Importance of Baud Rate
- The bit rate of a communication channel is also determined using the baud rate.
- It establishes the maximum speed at which data can be transmitted via a serial line or interface (a type of interface that transmits data as a sequence of bits via a single wire).
- The bandwidth needed for signal transmission can be ascertained by the baud rate.
- It is a tuning parameter for signal transmission, meaning it modifies network congestion in data networking.
