Compare with Definitions
Baseband
Baseband is a signal that has a near-zero frequency range (or, a narrow frequency "bandwidth") from close to zero hertz up to a higher cut-off frequency. An example of a baseband signal would be the audio signal output of a microphone, or a single musical note or synthesized tone.
Broadband
In telecommunications, broadband is wide bandwidth data transmission which transports multiple signals and traffic types. The medium can be coaxial cable, optical fiber, radio, twisted pair or satellite.
Baseband
(telecommunications) The frequency range occupied by a message signal prior to modulation.
Broadband
Of or relating to high-bandwidth data transmission.
Baseband
A method of transmission in which only one frequency channel is used at a time.

Broadband
Of or relating to data transmission that uses multiple channels so that multiple pieces of data can be transmitted simultaneously.
Baseband
(electronics) A device using baseband transmission.
Broadband
Any of several technologies that allow rapid transmission of data, as by using multiple channels simultaneously.
Broadband
(telecommunications) Of, pertaining to, or carrying a wide band of electromagnetic frequencies
Broadband
(telecommunications) A wide band of electromagnetic frequencies
Broadband
(Internet) An internet connection provisioned over an existing service using alternate signal frequencies such as ADSL or cable modem.
Broadband
Of or relating to or being a communications network in which the bandwidth can be divided and shared by multiple simultaneous signals (as for voice or data or video)
Broadband
Responding to or operating at a wide band of frequencies;
A broadband antenna
