| Bit Rate | Baud Rate |
|---|---|
| Bit rate is the number of bits per second. | Baud rate is the number of signal units per second. |
| It determines the number of bits traveled per second. | It determines how many times the state of a signal is changing. |
| Cannot determine the bandwidth. | It can determine how much bandwidth is required to send the signal. |
| This term generally used to describe the processor efficiency. | This term generally used to describe the data transmission over the channel. |
| Bit rate = baud rate x the number of bits per signal unit | Baud rate = bit rate / the number of bits per signal unit |
