Can baud rate be greater than a bit rate?

Yes, baud rate can be greater than bit rate in certain situations, particularly when multiple bits are transmitted per symbol. Baud rate refers to the number of signal changes or symbols per second, while bit rate measures the number of bits transmitted per second. For example, if a modulation scheme encodes multiple bits into a single symbol, the baud rate can exceed the bit rate. However, in most scenariOS, especially in simple binary communication, baud rate and bit rate are often equal.
