KembaraXtra-Computer Terms – baud:


Baud is a unit used to measure the rate of signal changes in a communication system. It represents the number of signal events or transitions that occur in one second during data transmission. Each signal change indicates a change in the state of the transmission medium, which can represent data being sent between devices.


The term is named after the French engineer and telegraph pioneer Jean-Maurice-Émile Baudot, who developed early telegraph transmission systems. Although originally used to describe the speed of telegraph equipment, the term later became associated with modem communication speeds. In modern networking, baud specifically measures signal changes rather than the actual number of bits transmitted per second.
