* Bandwidth (computing) or digital bandwidth: a rate of data

* Bandwidth (signal processing) or analog bandwidth, frequency
bandwidth or radio bandwidth: a measure of the width of a range of
frequencies, measured in hertz
* Spectral linewidth: the width of an atomic or molecular
spectral line, measured in hertz
Bandwidth can also refer to:
