Commercial broadcast radio is, in olde-worlde communications parlance, *narrowband* modulation of a carrier. Wideband - *not* broadband - modulation refers to signals with transmitted bandwidth that is a significant fraction of the carrier frequency. The baseband signal is essentially the information-bearing signal, sans any modulation of a carrier. Glibness is a poor excuse for sloppiness. --Tom -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog () merit edu [mailto:owner-nanog () merit edu]On Behalf Of Roeland Meyer Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 1:29 PM To: 'Larry Diffey'; nanog () merit edu Subject: Broadband v. baseband ... again? Broadband isn't a speed, it's a signaling architecture. The alternative is baseband. Ethernet is baseband. Broadcast radio is broadband. Now that you have the two competing terms, please see your friendly neighborhood search engine (PSYFNSE). BTW, silence is a poor excuse for posting a message.
