1. bandwidth
   (communications) The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies of a transmission channel (the width of its allocated band of frequencies). The term is often used erroneously to mean data rate or capacity - the amount of data that is, or can be, sent through a given communications circuit...

9. bandwidth
   The raw transmission capacity of a channel. In digital systems, measured in bps (bits per second). In analogue and radio systems, measured in Hz (cycles per second). In both cases, bandwidth is measured before vital factors such as compression, errors and overheads are taken into account so the figure can be misleading unless factors such as BER (bit error rate in digital systems) and signal to noise ratio (analogue systems) are also considered.

10. Bandwidth
    In analogue communications, the difference between the highest and lowest frequencies in a given range. For example, a telephone line accommodates a bandwidth of 3,000Hz, the difference between the lowest (300Hz) and highest (3,300Hz) frequencies it can carry.

13. Bandwidth
    Measure of the information capacity of a transmission channel. Strictly speaking, bandwidth is the difference, expressed in hertz (Hz), between the highest and lowest frequencies of the channel.

14. Bandwidth
    A means of specifying the range of frequencies passed by an electronic circuit such as an amplifier, mixer or filter. A system's bandwidth is the total frequency range of the system. (Example 20Hz-20Khz)

15. Bandwidth
    The range of frequencies (Hz, kHz, MHz) within which performance with respect to some characteristic falls within specified limits. Incorrectly, but universally, used in computing jargon to mean the capacity of a line or channel expressed as bits per second (bit/s or bps) in thousands (kbit/s) or millions (Mbit/s).

20. BANDWIDTH
    Bandwidth is the term used to indicate the volume of data transmitted in a unit time (usually a second). Both digital and analogue signals have a bandwidth. In analogue systems, it is measured in cycles per second (Hertz) and in digital systems usually in binary bits per second. (Bit/s or bps)

21. Bandwidth
    The amount of data you can send through a connection, usually measured in bits per second. A full page of English text is about 16,000 bits. A fast modem can move about 15,000 bits in one second.

22. Bandwidth
    Bandwidth is the difference between the lower and upper frequencies that can be sent along a communication channel. When used in radio engineering, bandwidth is quoted in cycles per second (hertz or Hz) but the word bandwidth is now also used to specify digital data transmission channels and Hz then refers to bits per second. The bandwidth of Ethernet, for example, is 10mhz (mega-hertz).
