[edit] Possible dup
Should this page be merged with Broadband Networks? The Broadband Networks article seems to be somewhat more broad, but although it's well-written I don't really know where it belongs. Can anyone help with this? Deco 02:20, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Broadband, the Band
Broadband is the name of a post-punk band out of NYC. http://www.broadbandtheband.com/ We would need to create a new page for the band and provide a link to it from this page.
- That depends; is the band notable? Veinor (talk to me) 04:26, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Broadband Doubts - Clear With Ramamurthy DWL, Amijikarai
Dial up modem isnt broadband... who say than is broadband? The fact is than dial up is until 56 K and you cant talk while use internet. Cant transport 2 signals at same time.
Ever heard of Voip ? a functionality that allows you to make voice call over the Internet. This will then means, 2 mediums on 1 network in this case dail-up.... (Nabster , Florida University of Technology)
[edit] Definitions of "broadband" and "baseband"
I'm a comms engineer, and I've never seen "broadband" and "baseband" defined as in the Introduction section.
As far as I've seen, "broadband" refers only to the transmitted bandwidth, and doesn't in itself imply frequency-division multiplexing or duplexing (although of course these become easier the broader the bandwidth is).
I've never seen "baseband" defined as an antonym to "broadband"; instead, it's usually used to refer to signals centred around (or very near to) 0 Hz; all the definitions in the baseband article agree with this. "Baseband" doesn't imply anything about the bandwidth of a signal. "Baseband" is technically the opposite of "passband" (i.e. a signal that has been modulated onto a carrier significantly higher than the original bandwidth), and says nothing about whether multiplexing/duplexing has been used. For instance, the baseband signal for an OFDM system is multiplexed. As another example, ethernet is baseband, but clearly multiplexes users using CSMA/CD.
Could someone provide an authoritative technical reference that defines these terms the way they are defined in the article? Otherwise, some editing may have to be done... Oli Filth 11:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
