Bit Rate Vs Baud Rate
In general terms both bit rate and baud rate are used in data communication for measuring the speed of the data transfer.
The baud rate is specified as the quantity of signal units per second. Relation between Bit Rate and Baud Rate can be given as
Bit rate = The product of the baud rate and the number of bits per baud.
Bit Rate | Baud Rate |
---|---|
It is transmission of bits per second. | It represents the quantity of signal units occurring per second. |
It emphasized computer efficiency. | It emphasized on the data transmission. |
Formula = baud rate x number of bit per baud | Formula = [Tex]bit rate/number of baud rate [/Tex] |
It is not required for the deciding the bandwidth for the signal transmission. | The baud rate is required in bandwidth for signal transmission |
counts the number of bits travel like Mbps, Gbps etc. | counts the time of signal change. |
Bit Rate
Bit rate as the name suggests, is the rate at which the bits are transferred from one location to another. A bit serves as the fundamental unit of information or data which is represented by data rate. In digital communication and networking telecommunication, the bit rate is the measurement per second of data passed through a communication network. Also, with respect to multimedia encoding the bit rate is used per unit of playback time, such as audio or video after compression.
