Both are units of data transmission rates through a communication medium. Baud rate signifies symbol rate. How many symbol changes are transmitted per second. Symbols can contain one bit or more (e.g. 3-bit symbols). Bit is smallest unit in digital transmission or digital communication. Bit has only two states but symbols can have more than 2 states. So symbol may may represent more than one binary bit and so baud rate may or may not be equal to bit rate.

What is difference between baud rate and frequency?
baud rate is the rate of symbol changes...symbol can be of 1 bit, 2 bit , 3 bit etc.... Where as frequency is the inverse of rate of lowest unit in a digital transimission...
What is relationship between sample rate and bit depth?
Please see attached links.
What is the difference between the two installation programs Winn.exe and Winnt32.exe?
Winnt.exe is the 16-bit version and Winnt32.exe is the 32-bit version
Main difference between 8085 and 8086?
The most significant difference between the Intel 8085 and 8086 microprocessors is that the 8085 is an 8-bit system and the 8086 is a 16-bit system. This difference allows the 8086 system to have a much larger set of operational instructions and can make calculations to more significant places. Note: the 8085 processor does have two 16-bit registers. The pointer and the program counter.
What is the difference in bonding between CoC 2 and COCL2?
Hypothetically speaking, this has to do with the molecular bonding of ions between the two compounds. i may be off a little bit.

Give an example of a signal for each what conditions the baud rate is equal to the bit rate the baud rate is greater than the bit rate and the baud rate is less than the bit rate?
Basically the baud rate can never be greater than the bit rate. Baud rate can only be equal or less than the bit rate. However, there are instances that baud rate maybe greater than the bit rate. In Return-to-zero or Manchester encoding, where there are two signaling elements, the baud rate is twice the bit rate and therefore requires more bandwidth.
What is the Baud rate for 1024QAM?
It is impossible to answer that question. On the other hand if you assume this: - Baud rate = symbol rate - Bit rate = bits per second The following formula is valid: Baud rate = bit rate / 10 If 1024 QAM is used.
What is bit rate of Ethernet when Manchester encoding is used?
bit rate is half the baud rate
How bit rate is 2 times of baud rate in Qpsk?
Although QPSK (quadrature phase shift keying) refers to an instance when two bits are processed at once, this does not mean that the actual bit rate is twice that of the baud rate.

Data rate of a channel?
A signal's data rate is often confused with its baud rate rate. The two are closely linked but are not identical. The data rate is a measure of how many bytes or bits of data can be sent per second. The baud rate, on the other hand is a measure of how many physical bits are sent per second, including start and stop bits and other idle bits. The baud rate is therefore higher than the data bit rate. A typical asynchronous serial signal that runs at a rate of 9600 baud will carry ten bits for every byte of data sent. One bit is a start bit. Another is the stop bit and the remaining eight are the eight bits of data. The bit rate is actually 8/10 x 9600 = 7680 bits per second. Most transmission methods have an overhead that makes the data rate a little slower than the baud rate. In time critical applications, the difference between them can become significant.
According to following constellation diagram if bit rate is 6400 bps what is the Baud Rate?
From the given constellation diagram determine whether its ASK, FSK, PSK or n-QAM. Then use the appropriate value of r to get Baud Rate = Bit Rate/r.
What is the Relationship between bits per second and baud for a BPSK system?
The two terms are used frequently in data communication are bit rate and the baud rate. Bit rate can be defined as the number of bits transmitted during 1s. Baud rate can be referred as to the number of the signal units per second that are required to represent those bits. A signal unit is composed of one or more bits. In discussions of the computer efficiency, the bit rate is the important; we want to know how long it takes to process each and every piece of information. In data transmission, however, we more concerned with how efficiently we can move those data from one place to another, either in pieces or blocks. The fewer signals units required, the more efficient the system and less bandwidth required to transmit more bits; so we are more concerned with baud rate. The baud rate determines the bandwidth requires sending the signal. Bit rate equals the baud rate times; number of bits represented by each signal unit. Baud rate equals the bit rate divided by number of bits represented by each signal unit. The bit rate is always greater than or in some cases equal to the baud rate. So we can say that the bit rate is the number of bits per second while Baud rate is number of signal units per second.
Give the example of symbol baud rate bit rate in digital modulation?
bit rate is the no. of bits transmitted per sec and baud rate is the measurement of the no of times per sec a signal changes in ta communication channel.. eg if bit rate is 3400/s ,it means it can transfer 3400 o's or 1's per sec whereas if baud rate is 3400/s ,it means channel changes states from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0 3400 times /s
What is the baud rate of a digital signal that employs differential Manchester and has a data transfer rate of 2000 bps?
What is the baud rate of a digital signal that employs the differential Manchester scheme and has a data transfer rate of 2000 bps.
If quadrature amplitude modulation is used to transmit a signal with a baud rate of 8000 what is the corresponding bit rate?
Baud Rate=8000 Each signal change=4 bits (4 bits yield 16 combinations) Therefore: (4*8000)=32000bps
