- Thewidth, usually measured inhertz, of afrequencyband.
2010 October 30, Jim Giles, “Jammed!”, inNew Scientist:But now is a good time to be bargaining forbandwidth, as the switch from analogue to digital television is freeing up space.
- (of asignal) The width of the smallestfrequency band within which the signal can fit.
- (networking, informal) The rate of data flow in digital networks typically measured in bits per second; thebitrate.
2008,BioWare,Mass Effect (Science Fiction), Redwood City: Electronic Arts,→ISBN,→OCLC, PC, scene: Communications: Administration Codex entry:While comm buoys allow rapid transmission, there is a finite amount ofbandwidth available. Given that trillions of people may be trying to pass a message through a given buoy at any one time, access to the network is parceled out on priority tiers.
- (informal) Thecapacity,energy ortime required.[1]
I think it's a worthy project, but I just don't have thebandwidth right now.
