baud \baud\ baddd or b^od, 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.

[3] : Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)

baud /bawd/ n. simplified from its technical meaning n. bits per
   second. hence kilobaud or kbaud, thousands of bits per second. the
   technical meaning is `level transitions per second'; this coincides with
   bps only for two-level modulation with no framing or stop bits. most
   hackers are aware of these nuances but blithely ignore them.

   historical note: `baud' was originally a unit of telegraph signalling
   speed, set at one pulse per second. it was proposed at the november,
   1926 conference of the comite' consultatif international des
   communications te'le'graphiques as an improvement on the then standard
   practice of referring to line speeds in terms of words per minute, and
   named for jean maurice emile baudot 1845-1903, a french engineer who
   did a lot of pioneering work in early teleprinters.

baud
     
         /bawd/ plural "baud" the unit in
        which the information carrying capacity or "signalling rate"
        of a communication channel is measured.  one baud is one
        symbol state-transition or level-transition per second.
        this coincides with bits per second only for two-level
        modulation with no framing or stop bits.
     
        a symbol is a unique state of the communication channel,
        distinguishable by the receiver from all other possible
        states.  for example, it may be one of two voltage levels on a
        wire for a direct digital connection or it might be the phase
        or frequency of a carrier.
     
        the term "baud" was originally a unit of telegraph signalling
        speed, set at one morse code dot per second.  or, more
        generally, the reciprocal of the duration of the shortest
        signalling element.  it was proposed at the international
        telegraph conference of 1927, and named after j.m.e. baudot
        1845-1903, the french engineer who constructed the first
        successful teleprinter.
     
        the uk pstn will support a maximum rate of 600 baud but each
        baud may carry between 1 and 16 bits depending on the coding
        e.g. qam.
     
        where data is transmitted as packets, e.g. characters, the
        actual "data rate" of a channel is
     
        	r d / p
     
        where r is the "raw" rate in bits per second, d is the number
        of data bits in a packet and p is the total number of bits in
        a packet including packet overhead.
     
        the term "baud" causes much confusion and is usually best
        avoided.  use "bits per second" bps, "bytes per second" or
        "characters per second" cps if that's what you mean.
