baud rate

At best, the spacecraft’s two transmitters can each only send data back to Earth at a baud rate of one kilobyte per second.

Both baud rate and bps refer to the rate at which the bits within a single frame are sent.

Modems rarely transfer data at exactly the same speed as their listed baud rate because of static or computer problems.

There is a difference between bps and baud rate, and the two are often confused.

Accordingly, neither baud rate nor bps refer accurately to the rate at which information is actually being transferred.
