Definitions for "Chip rate"
The rate at which chips are sent. For CDMA networks where signals need to be spread over bandwidths of 1 MHz and more chip rates are measured in millions of chips per second, Mcps.
In spread spectrum systems, this is the rate at which the pseudo-random noise code is applied. In frequency hopping systems, chip rate is the inverse of the dwell time which the output frequency occupies a single carrier frequency. Also called "chipping rate".
a transmission rate of a chip constituting a synchronization code sequence and an orthogonal code
