- The amount of information or data that can be sent over a
network connection in a given period of time. Bandwidth is usually
stated in bits per second (bps), kilobits per second (kbps), or
megabits per second (mps).

- A relative range of frequencies that can carry a signal on a
transmission medium.

- Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred over the
network in a fixed amount of time. On the Net, it is usually
expressed in bits per second (bps) or in higher units like Mbps
(millions of bits per second). 28.8 modem can deliver 28,800 bps, a
T1 line is about 1.5 Mbps.

- A measure of spectrum (frequency) use or capacity. For instance,
a voice transmission by telephone requires a bandwidth of about 3000
cycles per second (3 KHz). A TV channel occupies a bandwidth of 6
million cycles per second (6 MHz) in terrestrial Systems. In
satellite based systems a larger bandwidth of 17.5 to 72 MHz is used
to spread or "dither" the television signal in order to prevent
interference.
www.spidersat.net/glossary/glossary_b.htm
- The range of frequencies, expressed in hertz (Hz), that can pass
over a given transmission channel. The bandwidth determines the rate
at which information can be transmitted through the circuit.
www.ssloral.com/html/products/glossary.html
- The information carrying capacity of the fiber. The bandwidth
for a given wavelength is the lowest frequency at which optical
power has decreased by 3 dB, expressed in MHz-km. At frequencies
higher than the recommended bandwidth, modal dispersion creates
distortion making signals unreadable.
www.iec-usa.com/Browse02/GLSB.html
- is the difference between the lowest and highest frequency
components of a signal or device.
dspvillage.ti.com/docs/catalog/dspplatform/details.jhtml
- is the amount of information that may be transmitted at any
given time along a data line and is usually measured in Megabits per
second. An analogy would be a water pipe where a larger diameter
pipe can carry more water per second than a narrow pipe.

- Bandwidth refers to how fast data flows through the path that it
travels to your computer; it's usually measured in kilobits,
megabits or gigabits per second.
largebande.gc.ca/pub/technologies/bbdictionary.html
- Maximum rage of signal frequencies, amount of data, or number of
users a data carrier can handle.
www.angelfire.com/bc/nursinginformatics/glossary.html
- A measure of the amount of data that can travel through a
network. Usually measured in kilobits per second (Kbps). For
example, a modem line often has a bandwidth of 56.6 Kbps, and an
Ethernet line has a bandwidth of 10 Mbps (10 million bits per
second). Bit Rate - The number of bits transmitted per second. In
theory, a 56 Kbps modem, for example, can transmit up to 56,000 bits
per second.
media.ucsc.edu/glossary.html
- The complete range of frequencies over which a circuit or
electronic system is allocated to function. In transmission, the US
analog and digital television channel bandwidth is 6 MHz.
www.wgcu.org/watch/hdtv_glossaryofterms.html
- The range of frequencies a channel can carry. The higher the
frequency, the higher the bandwidth and the greater the capacity of
a channel. In Internet terms, higher bandwidth means a higher
ability to transmit and receive data.
www.7designavenue.com/glossary.htm
- A measurement of a network's transmission speed, how much data a
network can transfer in a given amount of time.
www.education-world.com/help/glossary.shtml
- Bandwidth is the amount of information your connection to the
Internet can carry. On average, typical telephone lines can carry 1K
of information per second.
www.zacsdesign.com/edu/basic_multimedia_glossary.htm
- The range of frequencies in a signal.
www.trimble.com/gps/glossary.html
- The amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of
time. For digital devices, the bandwidth is usually expressed in
bits per second (bps) or bytes per second. For analog devices, the
bandwidth is expressed in cycles per second, or Hertz (Hz).
precisecyberforensics.com/glossary.html
- 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.
www.liv.ac.uk/webteam/glossary/
- the amount of data that can be transmitted via a given
communications channel (eg, between a hard drive and the host PC) in
a given unit of time.
www.sunrise.uk.com/glossary.html
- The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies
available for network signals. The term is also used to describe the
rated throughput capacity of a given network medium or protocol. In
short, bandwidth is a loose term used to describe the throughput
capacity (measured in Kilobits or Megabits per second) of a specific
circuit. For example, each time a webpage, image, midi file, wav
file, etc. is loaded, bandwidth is generated.

- The maximum data carrying capacity of a transmission link. For
networks, bandwidth is usually expressed in bits per second (bps).

- Amount of traffic transmitted from the site.
www.weblogexpert.com/help/wlexpert/source/Common/Glossary.htm
- This is a measure of the amount of data that can be transmitted
over communication or network lines via the Internet. The higher the
bandwidth, the great the amount of information that can be
transmissed.
www.teach-nology.com/glossary/terms/b/
- In computer networks, bandwidth is often used as a synonym for
data transfer rate - the amount of data that can be carried from one
point to another in a given time period (usually a second). This
kind of bandwidth is usually expressed in bits (of data) per second
(bps). Occasionally, it's expressed as bytes per second (Bps). A
modem that works at 57,600 bps has twice the bandwidth of a modem
that works at 28,800 bps.
www.webasyst.net/glossary.htm
- a data transmission rate; the maximum amount of information
(bits/second) that can be transmitted along a channel

- For analog signals, bandwidth is the width, usually measured in
hertz, of a frequency band f2 − f1. It can also be used to describe
a signal, in which case the meaning is the width of the smallest
frequency band within which the signal can fit.

- In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis a sparse
matrix is a matrix populated primarily with zeros. A sparse graph is
a graph with a sparse adjacency matrix.
