单词 | bandwidth |
释义 | bandwidth The measure of the capacity of a circuit or channel. More specifically, bandwidth refers (1) to the total frequency range on the available carrier in Hertz (Hz) for the transmission of data, or (2) the capacity of a circuit in bits per second (bps). There is a direct relationship between the bandwidth of an analog circuit or channel and both its frequency and the difference between the minimum and maximum frequencies supported. Although the information signal (bandwidth usable for data transmission) does not occupy the total capacity of a circuit, it generally and ideally occupies most of it.The balance of the capacity of the circuit may be used for various signaling and control (overhead) purposes. In other words, the total signaling rate of the circuit typically is greater than the effective transmission rate. In an analog transmission system, bandwidth is measured in Hertz (Hz). In a digital system, bandwidth is measured in bits per second (bps). See also bps, carrier, Hz, overhead, signaling and control, signaling rate, throughput, and transmission rate. |
