In signal theory, a signal element is a part of a signal that is distinguished by its:

• duration,
• magnitude,
• nature (the modulation technique used to create the element),
• relative position to other elements,
• transition from one signal state to another.

The rate at which signal elements are sent is called the symbol rate and is measured in baud.
