Chip rate:

In a binary direct-sequence system, each chip is typically a rectangular pulse of +1


or 1 amplitude, which is multiplied by a data sequence (similarly +1 or 1
representing the message bits) and by a carrier waveform to make the transmitted
signal. The chips are therefore just the bit sequence out of the code generator; they
are called chips to avoid confusing them with message bits

The chip rate of a code is the number of pulses per second (chips per second) at
which the code is transmitted (or received). The chip rate is larger than the symbol
rate, meaning that one symbol is represented by multiple chips. The ratio is known
as the spreading factor (SF) or processing gain:
