Definition & Meaning | English word BANDWIDTH

Definitions of BANDWIDTH

1. The width, usually measured in hertz, of a frequency band.
2. (of a signal) The width of the smallest frequency band within which the signal can fit.
3. (networking, informal) The rate of data flow in digital networks typically measured in bits per second; the bitrate.
4. (informal) The capacity, energy or time required.
5. (graph theory) The minimum, over all orderings of vertices of a given graph, of the length of the longest edge.
