unit of modulation rate equal to the number of signal elements per second where all such elements are of equal length and each element represents one or more bits

OBS

For some modems operating at or above 1200 bit/s the modulation rate, expressed in bauds, is usually less than the bit rate because more than one bit is conveyed per signal element.

OBS

baud: term and definition standardized by ISO/IEC [ISO/IEC 2382-9:1995].

DEF

unité de rapidité de modulation égale au nombre d'éléments de signal transmis en une seconde lorsque les éléments sont d'égale durée et chaque élément représente un ou plusieurs bits

OBS

Pour certains modems fonctionnant à 1200 bit/s ou plus, la rapidité de modulation exprimée en bauds est généralement inférieure au débit binaire parce que plusieurs bits sont acheminés par élément de signal.
