Bandwidth (BW)

Bandwidth (BW)

The width of a communication channel. Analogue bandwidth is measured in Hertz (Hz) or cycles per second and digital bandwidth is measured in bits per second. Bandwidth should not be confused with band. For example, when a mobile device operates on the 900 MHz band, bandwidth is the space it occupies on that band. The bandwidth of a channel affects the transmission speed.
