Definitions of Bandwidth:

A measure of the capacity of a communications channel. The higher a channel's bandwidth, the more information it can carry.
www.tamu.edu/ode/glossary.html
The amount of information or data that can be sent over a network connection in a given period of time. Bandwidth is usually stated in bits per second (bps), kilobits per second (kbps), or megabits per second (mps).
www.tecrime.com/0gloss.htm
A relative range of frequencies that can carry a signal on a transmission medium.
www.adaptivedigital.com/services/serv_definitions.htm
Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred over the network in a fixed amount of time. On the Net, it is usually expressed in bits per second (bps) or in higher units like Mbps (millions of bits per second). 28.8 modem can deliver 28,800 bps, a T1 line is about 1.5 Mbps.
www.hosttrail.com/glossary/b/
A measure of spectrum (frequency) use or capacity. For instance, a voice transmission by telephone requires a bandwidth of about 3000 cycles per second (3 KHz). A TV channel occupies a bandwidth of 6 million cycles per second (6 MHz) in terrestrial Systems. In satellite based systems a larger bandwidth of 17.5 to 72 MHz is used to spread or "dither" the television signal in order to prevent interference.
www.spidersat.net/glossary/glossary_b.htm
The range of frequencies, expressed in hertz (Hz), that can pass over a given transmission channel. The bandwidth determines the rate at which information can be transmitted through the circuit.
www.ssloral.com/html/products/glossary.html
The information carrying capacity of the fiber. The bandwidth for a given wavelength is the lowest frequency at which optical power has decreased by 3 dB, expressed in MHz-km. At frequencies higher than the recommended bandwidth, modal dispersion creates distortion making signals unreadable.
www.iec-usa.com/Browse02/GLSB.html
is the difference between the lowest and highest frequency components of a signal or device.
dspvillage.ti.com/docs/catalog/dspplatform/details.jhtml
is the amount of information that may be transmitted at any given time along a data line and is usually measured in Megabits per second. An analogy would be a water pipe where a larger diameter pipe can carry more water per second than a narrow pipe.
www.smallbizonline.co.uk/glossary_of_internet_terms.php
Bandwidth refers to how fast data flows through the path that it travels to your computer; it's usually measured in kilobits, megabits or gigabits per second.
largebande.gc.ca/pub/technologies/bbdictionary.html
Maximum rage of signal frequencies, amount of data, or number of users a data carrier can handle.
www.angelfire.com/bc/nursinginformatics/glossary.html
A measure of the amount of data that can travel through a network. Usually measured in kilobits per second (Kbps). For example, a modem line often has a bandwidth of 56.6 Kbps, and an Ethernet line has a bandwidth of 10 Mbps (10 million bits per second). Bit Rate - The number of bits transmitted per second. In theory, a 56 Kbps modem, for example, can transmit up to 56,000 bits per second.
media.ucsc.edu/glossary.html
The complete range of frequencies over which a circuit or electronic system is allocated to function. In transmission, the US analog and digital television channel bandwidth is 6 MHz.
www.wgcu.org/watch/hdtv_glossaryofterms.html
The range of frequencies a channel can carry. The higher the frequency, the higher the bandwidth and the greater the capacity of a channel. In Internet terms, higher bandwidth means a higher ability to transmit and receive data.
www.7designavenue.com/glossary.htm
A measurement of a network's transmission speed, how much data a network can transfer in a given amount of time.
www.education-world.com/help/glossary.shtml
Bandwidth is the amount of information your connection to the Internet can carry. On average, typical telephone lines can carry 1K of information per second.
www.zacsdesign.com/edu/basic_multimedia_glossary.htm
The range of frequencies in a signal.
www.trimble.com/gps/glossary.html
The amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of time. For digital devices, the bandwidth is usually expressed in bits per second (bps) or bytes per second. For analog devices, the bandwidth is expressed in cycles per second, or Hertz (Hz).
precisecyberforensics.com/glossary.html
Commonly referred to as the amount of data that can be transferred over a network connection. Bandwidth is normally measured in megabits per second (Mbps). Simple HTML web pages do not require a large amount of bandwidth but full motion video will be viewed better on higher bandwidth.
www.liv.ac.uk/webteam/glossary/
the amount of data that can be transmitted via a given communications channel (eg, between a hard drive and the host PC) in a given unit of time.
www.sunrise.uk.com/glossary.html
The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for network signals. The term is also used to describe the rated throughput capacity of a given network medium or protocol. In short, bandwidth is a loose term used to describe the throughput capacity (measured in Kilobits or Megabits per second) of a specific circuit. For example, each time a webpage, image, midi file, wav file, etc. is loaded, bandwidth is generated.
customersupport.websiteproviders.net/glossary/b/
The maximum data carrying capacity of a transmission link. For networks, bandwidth is usually expressed in bits per second (bps).
www.voip-architecture.com/glossary/glossary.html
Amount of traffic transmitted from the site.
www.weblogexpert.com/help/wlexpert/source/Common/Glossary.htm
This is a measure of the amount of data that can be transmitted over communication or network lines via the Internet. The higher the bandwidth, the great the amount of information that can be transmissed.
www.teach-nology.com/glossary/terms/b/
In computer networks, bandwidth is often used as a synonym for data transfer rate - the amount of data that can be carried from one point to another in a given time period (usually a second). This kind of bandwidth is usually expressed in bits (of data) per second (bps). Occasionally, it's expressed as bytes per second (Bps). A modem that works at 57,600 bps has twice the bandwidth of a modem that works at 28,800 bps.
www.webasyst.net/glossary.htm
a data transmission rate; the maximum amount of information (bits/second) that can be transmitted along a channel
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
For analog signals, bandwidth is the width, usually measured in hertz, of a frequency band f2 − f1. It can also be used to describe a signal, in which case the meaning is the width of the smallest frequency band within which the signal can fit.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth
In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis a sparse matrix is a matrix populated primarily with zeros. A sparse graph is a graph with a sparse adjacency matrix.
