A) bandpass
B) sensitivity
C) bandwidth
D) band

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bandwidth is the measure of the range of frequencies that are contained in a particular radio signal. A larger bandwidth means that the signal can carry more information. Option A is incorrect because bandpass is the range of frequencies that can pass through a filter. Option B is incorrect because sensitivity is a measure of how well a radio receiver can detect weak signals. Option D is incorrect because a band refers to a specific range of frequencies, whereas bandwidth refers to the range of frequencies contained in a particular radio signal.
