    In electronics and signalling terms it is the difference between the highest frequency component in a signal and the lowest frequency component. So called because it is the same as the width when viewed in the frequency domain or as a fourier transform.

    In computing it is the throughput (transmission rate) in bits per second of a connection.

        The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies of a transmission channel (the width of its allocated band of frequencies). The term is often used erroneously to mean {data rate} or capacity - the amount of {data} that is, or can be, sent through a given communications circuit per second.

          The width, in [Hertz], of the pass-band of any equipment that can process information. Most computer data transfer works at base-band (unlike radio transmitters, which usually operate on some higher wave band) so the bandwidth is usually equal to its [baud] rate.

              A measure of how fat a band is. The greater the fatness, the greater the bandwidth.

                        1. [common] Used by hackers (in a generalization of its technical
                          meaning) as the volume of information per unit time that a computer,
                          person, or transmission medium can handle. “Those are amazing
                          graphics, but I missed some of the detail — not enough bandwidth, I
                          guess.” Compare low-bandwidth; see also
                          brainwidth. This generalized usage began to go
                          mainstream after the Internet population explosion of 1993-1994. 2. Attention span. 3. On Usenet, a measure of network capacity
                          that is often wasted by people complaining about how items posted by others
                          are a waste of bandwidth.
