In computing, bandwidth is the maximum rate of data transfer across a given path. Bandwidth may be characterized as network bandwidth, data bandwidth, or digital bandwidth.This definition of bandwidth is in contrast to the field of signal processing, wireless communications, modem data transmission, digital communications, and electronics, in which bandwidth is used to refer to analog signal bandwidth measured in hertz, meaning the frequency range between lowest and highest attainable frequency while meeting a well-defined impairment level in signal power. The actual bit rate that can be achieved depends not only on the signal bandwidth but also on the noise on the channel.
Homework Statement
What is the bandwidth of an AM signal if the modulating signal is
x(t)=cos(2pi70t)+cos(2pi90t) and the carrier frequency is 10kHz?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
The carrier frequency is irrelevant because it just means the signal's spectrum is...
Bandwidth of space!
Can anyone tell me what might be the bandwidth of a m3 of space or air.
As we can tell the b/w of Cu wire is in MBps , ethernet cables in GBps and that of optical fibre is around TBps ; is there any way to find out or any formula to calculate the threshold capacity of...
The PCI bus found in many computers transmits 64 bits per clock cycle at 33MHz. How does the bandwidth of the PCI bus compare to the serial FireWire (IEEE 1394) serial bus specification, which is 400 Mbits per second?
a. The FireWire serial bus is better.
b. The PCI bus is better.
c. They...
I read in my analog communication book:
"A relatively small increase in bandwidth buys a large advantage in terms of reduced transmission power. But a large increase in transmitted power buys a meager advantage in bandwidth reduction. Hence, in practice, the exchange between B and SNR is...
Hi!
I've been reading up on FDMA and CDMA and wondering why is it that in CDMA, each message is spread over the entire bandwidth allotted instead of using a single range of frequencies (say, alloted to one user in FDMA), for several users (by assigning a unique code to each of them)?
Why...
HiHo!
W. Stallings's "Wireless Communications & Networks, 2nd edition" explains the relationships between bandwidth and Fourier transformation by depicting a square wave. The square wave is approximated with a Fourier series having several sine terms. The bandwidth is then defined by the...
The question is:
To tell you the truth I don't know where to start, I have read over all the teacher's notes and the chapters in the book, and I haven't seen a question similar to this at all. I am not even sure I quite get the question. Can someone help get me started please?
Thanks!
Hi, this is a problem I am trying to do:
So I found that at 3dB, V0=0.7079Vi
and I wasn't sure if I should use real numbers or complex numbers, I did both, I'll show the real one:
Vo/Vi=0.7079=R/(R+1/wc)=Rwc/(Rwc+1)...I can solve for w, but this will only give one answer, when I use complex...
Could sb explain to me how to calculate the 3db frequency of the inverting op amp, please?
1. For non-inverting op amp
If Bandwidth gain product is 1.5x10^6 Hz and gain is 20dB then the F3db is given by Bandwidth gain product over 20. It equals 150kHz.
2. For inverting op amp the F3db is...
I keep running into reports that within a year or so, the current system will be unable to sustain the rate of growth of bandwidth demand. Projections range from "the internet will become little more than a toy" (a paraphrase), to predictions of brownouts or other limitations. It seems that...
Howdy all.
I have a somewhat tenuous relation with our IT department. Basically because they think they are the only ones who know what happens inside a computer. It's an annoyance usually, but every once in a while, something comes up that makes me think they are complete buffoons/idiots...
hi, I've got simple circuit with noninverting op amp. There are two resistors by which gain is set. And as far as I know the product of bandwidth and gain constant. That is, if we increase the gain the bandwidth decreses and if we decrease the gain , bandwidth increses. The problem is that I am...

Given the user date 1000110, we have a spread sequence of 1010110 0101001 0101001 0101001 1010110 1010110 0101001 using DSSS. What is the
chipping sequence we used in this DSSS? Assuming the bandwidth of the user data is 50MHz, what is the bandwidth of the spread signal...
I am using Excel and plotting a line of best fit for Resistance vs. Bandwidth. I used the LINEST function to get my values, and it shows that it would cross the y-intercept at around 288 Hz. I am just wondering why when using resistance vs bandwidth it would never cross at the origin. That is...
Since this is a Computer Science forum now i thought i'd post this impractical yet interesting take on data transfer.
If machine A has to send n bits over to machine B, and A knows the clock speed of B, rather than sending the n bits, A can instead always send two bits bit-1 and bit-2. B...
Ok I seem to have a serious problem.
My understanding of Bandwidth was that it is the Range of Frequencies that a Radio Receiver can let through its RLC Circuit (or known as the Bandpass Filter). I thought that The set of frequencies are such that they are larger than half the total power...
According to tight binding moment, for BCC crystalographic structures (such as Fe), energy E depends on wave vector kx, ky, kz: E(x) = const - 8t cos(kx * a/2)*cos(ky * a/2)*cos(kz * a/2), where t>0 is the model parameter. What is the bandwidth W in terms of parameter t? Can you find kx, kz, and...

I've got a signal and I would like to find the 3 dB bandwidth. The signal has a center frequency of f_{c} and a has a bandwidth shaping filter applied to it (ie, a root raised cosine filter).
The problem with finding the bandwidth, is that I have no equation for representing a PSK signal...
What is there about a particular protocol that defines its range of use? Is there such definition? i.e. 802.11 is used for short range high bandwidth, GSM/EGPRS for long range cellular communications and bluetooth for even shorter range communication on PANs.
Is it possible for 802.11 to be...
If one computer on a LAN network is using maximum bandwidth on, say, downloading a file, then will this affect the bandwidth of other computers on the network? And is bandwidth usually artificially constrained or naturally constrained?
Why is the group delay of a filter inversely proportional to the filter bandwidth? For example in a color TV transmitter the luma signal must be delayed with respect to the chrominance signal before they are added together because the luma signal has a larger bandwidth.
hi,
1.please tel me in detail why do we say that for higher capacity we require more bandwidth?
higher capacity means more data rate, meaning more bits per seconds(and i know BW is bps) but tell me in terms of frequencies availble in a band..coz we transmit our signal on 1 freq then what it...
Hi,
I would like to know why do the digital signals require more bandwidth than the original analogue signals to convey the same information ? Is it something to do with the Nyquist Theorem or Shannon's Law ? And what about the harmonics ?
Thank you.

A satellite telemetry link operating in S-band uses frequency modulation to transmit the value of an analog voltage on the satellite to a receiving Earth station. The voltage has a range from -1.0 volts to +1.0 volts, and a maximum frequency of 1000Hz.The FM modulator on the satellite has a...
hey all.
i read that the definition of the bandwidth of a system is the frequency range up until the signal's power (at DC) drops by -3dB.
This obviously only applies to a first order system , right?
Surely for a second order - it is defined as the range of frequency up until the power...
