The Future of Communication: Broadband
September 18th, 2006Faster than Telephone Lines
In general electronics and telecommunications, any signal or circuit which consists of or handles a broad range of frequencies is known as broadband. This is a term that is used relatively and is best understood in the context of wide frequencies.
The broadband range of signals is broad as the term itself implies, and is different to radio signals which carry a very narrowband consisting of Morse code. Broadband can carry much more than just Morse code and includes speech and music and at the same time does not lose the high audio frequencies required to reproduce realistic sounds.
