Definition of bandwidth

bandwidthnoun

băng thông

/ˈbændwɪdθ//ˈbændwɪdθ/

The term "bandwidth" refers to the amount of data that can be transmitted over a communication channel within a certain period of time. In simpler terms, it refers to the maximum speed at which data can be transferred between devices or networks. The term originated from the concept of analog signals, where the width of a signal's frequency band determines its data-carrying capacity. The wider the bandwidth, the more data can be transmitted without any distortion in the signal. In digital communication, where signals are represented by binary digits (0s and 1s), bandwidth refers to the number of bits that can be transmitted per second (bps). A higher bandwidth means a faster data transmission rate, making it ideal for activities that require large amounts of data, such as streaming videos, playing online games, and downloading large files. In summary, the term "bandwidth" comes from the physics of signal transmission and has been adapted to describe the digital communication aspect of data transfer speeds.
