Bandwidth (Cellular)

Describes the transmission capacity of a medium in terms of a range of frequencies. A greater bandwidth indicates the ability to transmit a greater amount of data over a given period of time.

Bandwidth (Climatology)

The range of frequencies (in Hertz) between the limits of a frequency band. Bandwidth is a measure of how well radio energy input is passed through the receiver without distortion or loss of data. It is one of the variables determining the minimum detectable signal of a radar unit. The shorter the pulse duration, the larger the bandwidth required to preserve the same quality of receiver output pulses.

Bandwidth (Computer Hardware)

Describes the amount of data that can flow across an interface in megabytes per second. Bandwidth = ("width in bits" x "speed")/8. "Width" x "speed" is divided by 8 because 8 bits make a Byte, and bandwidth is measured in megabytes.

Bandwidth (Computer Technology)

The bandwidth is a way of measuring the capacity of a communication channel. The wider (larger) the bandwidth, the more data simultaniously can be transported over this particular channel. The expression bandwidth originates from the analog communication world expressed in Hertz (Hz). In the current digital world the expression Bandwordth is wrongfully used and expressed in bits per second.

Bandwidth (DSL)

The amount of data that can be transmitted or received over a given period of time.

Bandwidth (DTV)

The complete range of frequencies over which a circuit or electronic system is allocated to function. In transmission, the U.S. analog and digital television channel bandwidth is 6 MHz.

Bandwidth (DVD)

Strictly speaking, the range of frequencies (or the difference between the highest and the lowest frequency) carried by a circuit or signal. Loosely speaking, the amount of information carried in a signal. Technically, bandwidth does not apply to digital information; the term data rate is more accurate.

Bandwidth (DVD and CD)

Strictly speaking, the range of frequencies (or the difference between the highest and the lowest frequency) carried by a circuit or signal. Loosely speaking, the amount of information carried in a signal. Technically, bandwidth does not apply to digital information; the term data rate is more accurate.

Bandwidth (Domain Name Registration)

The amount of data that can be transmitted at a given moment to a server. The higher your bandwidth the larger amount of traffic your site can handle at one time.

Bandwidth (Domain Names)

The amount of data that can be transmitted at a given moment to a server. The higher your bandwidth, the larger amount of traffic your site can handle at one time.

Bandwidth (E-Learning)

The nformation carrying capacity of a communication channel.

Bandwidth (Electronic Cinematography)

The amount of frequency or data rate required to transmit or store information. Bandwidth is measured in Hertz (Hz) or bits per second (baud) Video signals require more bandwidth than either audio or computer data.

Bandwidth (Fiber Optics)

The information-carrying capacity of an optical fiber. It is measured in MHz-km and GHz-km, as distance plays an important role.

Bandwidth (HDTV)

A range of frequencies used to transmit information such as picture and sound. For TV broadcasters, the FCC has allocated 6Mhz for each channel. For DTV, the maximum bit rate possible within the bandwidth is 19.4 Mbps, which is one HDTV channel. SDTV has a lower bit rate, therefore the bandwidth can accommodate more than one channel.

Bandwidth (Hard Drive Recovery)

The amount of data that can be sent over a given circuit. See also buffer bandwidth.

Bandwidth (Health Informatics)

Amoun o dat tha ca b transmitte acros communicatio channe ove give perio o time Se also Bit pe second Channe capacity.

Bandwidth (Home Theater)

In audio, the range of frequencies a device operates within. In video, the range of frequencies passed from the input to the output.

Bandwidth (Import Cars)

The range of frequencies an oscilloscope can display

Bandwidth (Interactive Marketing)

1) the transmission rate of a communications line or system, expressed either as cycles per second/hertz for analog lines, or as bits (bps) or kilobits per second (Kbps) for digital systems; 2) line speed; 3) the amount of information that can be transmitted over communications lines at one time.

Bandwidth (Internet)

The range of transmission frequencies a network can use. The greater the bandwidth the more information that can be transferred over that network at one time. The term bandwidth also broadly includes throughput, meaning the amount of data sent.

Bandwidth (Learning)

Information carrying capacity of a communication channel.

Bandwidth (Music Technology)

Generally this is the amount of information which may be carried by a specific device, eg a modem may carry a maximum of x amount of bits per second, and that is said to be it's "bandwidth".
In music and sound, "bandwidth" may be the difference or "spread" between the lowest and highest frequencies that are capable of being produced by a piece of sonic circuitry (eg amplifier, computer soundcard etc) or musical intrument, where the "spread" between the frequencies corresponding to the lowest and highest notes would be regarded as the "bandwidth" of the instrument.
In a case of radio however, one could also speak in terms of the bandwidth that is capable of being received (as opposed to produced). This could be illustrated by saying that a radio that is capable of receiving signals within the bandwidth between 88 and 108 Mhz could be described as being an "F.M." radio.

Bandwidth (Networking)

This is the capacity of a link usually measured in bits-per-second (bps).

Bandwidth (Photography)

General term for the amount of data that can pass through a given channel at one time. When using a dialup connection, the Internet for example, your bandwidth is limited by your telephone connection and modem, and will typically be 2-4 kilobytes per second. Information requiring more than this flow of data will be impractical for this connection.

Bandwidth (Podcast)

Commonly referred to as the amount of data that can be transferred over a network connection. Bandwidth is normally measured in megabits per second (Mbps). Simple HTML web pages do not require a large amount of bandwidth but full motion video will be viewed better on higher bandwidth.

Bandwidth (RAID Drive Recovery)

The amount of data that can be sent over a given circuit. See also buffer bandwidth.

Bandwidth (Satellite Tv)

The bandwidth is the complete range of frequencies over which a circuit or electronic system is allocated to function, measured in MHz.

Bandwidth (Technology)

1. The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies that an analog communications system can pass as measured in Hertz (Hz) or cycles per second. For example, a telephone accommodates a bandwidth of 3000 Hz: the difference between the lowest (300 Hz) and highest (3300 Hz) frequencies it can carry. 2. The data transfer capacity, or speed of transmission, of a digital communications system as measured in bits per second (bps).

Bandwidth (Telecommunications)

The difference between the upper and lower limits of a band. A range of radio, audio, or other frequencies. Since it is so limited, a modem must carefully change data into sounds that "fit" within this range. Similar to frequency spectrum. Bandwidth of a voice channel is 3000Hz-300Hz which equals 2700Hz. Telephone lines have a bandwidth from 300 hertz to 3400 hertz.

Bandwidth (Telepresence)

The amount of data a communications link can transmit in a given period of time. Generally measured in bits per second.

Bandwidth (Television)

(1) A measurement of the ability of a system or circuit or cable to carry or handle a broad range of frequencies with reasonable uniformity. The single word "bandwidth" refers to the frequency range (starting at zero hertz or DC if not otherwise specified) where the frequencies reproduced worst are output with at least 50% of the strength of the frequencies reproduced best. More technically the output voltage must be within than -3 dB of the maximum output given constant volts in. Standard DVD video output (interlaced NTSC) requires 6.75 megahertz of bandwidth. Click here for more on bandwidth. (2) Colloquial term for "needed overall capacity or consumption" without regard to (uniform) frequency response, as in "if one TV channel occupies 6 MHz, then three TV channels occupy 18 MHz". This analogy has been extended to such topic contexts as "automobiles require more bandwidth (in terms of road space) than bicycles to carry a given number of people".

Bandwidth (UPS)

The data a cable can carry measured in bits per second (bps).

Bandwidth (Video)

The range of signal frequencies that a piece of audio or video equipment can encode or decode; the difference between the limiting frequencies of a continuous frequency band. Video uses higher frequency that audio, thus requires a wider bandwidth.

Bandwidth (Windows Hosting)

How much data can be transmitted in a time period over a communications channel, often expressed in kilobits per second (kbps).
