Bandwidth

The capacity at which a network can transmit data. Also, a measure of how well an oscilloscope responds to high-frequency signals, reported at the -3dB point where the displayed signal reduces to 70.7% of the applied signal. In amplifiers, it refers to the complete range of frequencies over which an op amp can amplify and provide its rated output.
