Different criteria for "broad" have
been applied in different contexts and at different times. Its origin is in
physics, acoustics, and radio systems engineering, where it had been used with
a meaning similar to "wideband".[1][2] Later, with the advent of digital
telecommunications, the term was mainly used for transmission over multiple
channels. Whereas a passband signal is also modulated so that it occupies
higher frequencies (compared to a baseband signal which is bound to the lowest
end of the spectrum, see line coding), it is still occupying a single channel.
The key difference is that what is typically considered a broadband signal in
this sense is a signal that occupies multiple (non-masking, orthogonal)
passbands, thus allowing for much higher throughput over a single medium but
with additional complexity in the transmitter/receiver circuitry.
