1. bandwidth

   Bandwidth refers to the data transfer capacity of a network connection in a given period of time. It is usually measured in bits per second (bps) or bytes per second (Bps) and indicates the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted from one point to another within a network. Higher bandwidth means data can be transferred at a faster rate and more volume of data can be sent in a shorter period of time.

1. Bandwidth

   Bandwidth is the difference between the upper and lower frequencies in a continuous set of frequencies. It is typically measured in hertz, and may sometimes refer to passband bandwidth, sometimes to baseband bandwidth, depending on context. Passband bandwidth is the difference between the upper and lower cutoff frequencies of, for example, a bandpass filter, a communication channel, or a signal spectrum. In case of a low-pass filter or baseband signal, the bandwidth is equal to its upper cutoff frequency. Bandwidth in hertz is a central concept in many fields, including electronics, information theory, digital communications, radio communications, signal processing, and spectroscopy. A key characteristic of bandwidth is that any band of a given width can carry the same amount of information, regardless of where that band is located in the frequency spectrum. For example, a 3 kHz band can carry a telephone conversation whether that band is at baseband or modulated to some higher frequency.

1. bandwidth

   1. [common] Used by hackers (in a generalization of its technical meaning) as the volume of information per unit time that a computer, person, or transmission medium can handle. “Those are amazing graphics, but I missed some of the detail — not enough bandwidth, I guess.” Compare low-bandwidth; see also brainwidth. This generalized usage began to go mainstream after the Internet population explosion of 1993-1994. 2. Attention span. 3. On Usenet, a measure of network capacity that is often wasted by people complaining about how items posted by others are a waste of bandwidth.

1. bandwidth

   The difference between the limiting frequencies of a continuous frequency band expressed in hertz (cycles per second). The term bandwidth is also loosely used to refer to the rate at which data can be transmitted over a given communications circuit. In the latter usage, bandwidth is usually expressed in either kilobits per second or megabits per second.

Examples of bandwidth in a Sentence

1. Julian Sanchez:

   There’s plenty of scaremongering around steps broadband providers could take in the absence of neutrality regulation —blocking off certain sites, or charging extra fees to access certain services —but not a ton of reason to think they woulddo these things, which would antagonize customers, be technically tricky to enforce against sophisticated users, and invite the re-imposition of regulations, what’s more realistic is the introduction of plans that provide higher speeds for specific bandwidth-intensive services.

3. Nicholas Calio:

   The fix basically is working out where the bandwidth is, the amount of power used, the tilt of the antennas, the placement of the antennas, there are mitigations that can be put in place, it's just going to take time to do it. The fix can be almost immediate — tower by tower.

4. Jonathan Friedman:

   There isn't much bandwidth for planning how to use the G20 presidency to achieve clear goals, turkey's soft power has declined so rapidly over the last two years. Turkey doesn't have the same credibility on the G20 stage as it would have had a couple of years back.
