What is the difference between baud rate and bit rate?
问题 I am really having hard time understanding the difference. Some say they are same, while others say there is a slight difference. What's the difference, exactly? I would like it if you explained with some analogy. 回答1: Bits per second is straightforward. It is exactly what it sounds like. If I have 1000 bits and am sending them at 1000 bps, it will take exactly one second to transmit them. Baud is symbols per second. If these symbols — the indivisible elements of your data encoding — are not
