16
Q

What is a limit of baseband?

A

baseband can only send one channel

17
Q

What is ethernet?

A

an example of baseband found on many LANs. Only one device can transmit, but it happens so quickly you don’t notice

18
Q

What is broadband?

A

signals are modulated as radio frequency RF analog waves that use different frequency ranges. Broadband does not encode information as digital pulses

19
Q

What is broad band used for at home?

A

your cable transmission

20
Q

How much more signal can broad band carry than baseband?

A

25 times more

21
Q

what is a drawback of broadband?

A

it is more expensive b/c their has to be a channel for users transmission back.

22
Q

What is a benefit of broadband?

A

it can span longer distances than baseband
