In engineering, bandwidth is the length between two cut-off frequencies, as measured in hertz. It is used in radio, electronics, and signal processing. Bandwidth is determined by subtracting the lower cut-off frequency from the upper cut-off frequency.
In computers, bandwidth is similar to throughput, measuring the amount of data transferred in a given amount of time, often measured in bits/second or bytes/second.
