I want to know what base band and broadband transmissions are and how they relate. I also need an example in everyday life.
Quoted from the 2nd link: What is difference between baseband and broadband transmission? In a baseband transmission, the entire bandwidth of the cable is consumed by a single signal. In broadband transmission, signals are sent on multiple frequencies, allowing multiple signals to be sent simultaneously There are more details but this one seems to be the simplest if it is what your actually looking for. Another thing to know is that a LAN is baseband. It has one signal at a time. A long distance connection between two central offices of the telephone company is broadband in the sense there are upwards to 12 or more conversations running on a single channel using multiplexing. Cable networks have multiple channels (multiplexing) so you can get your TV channels as well as the Internet on the same physical media. That is why the term Broadband is used with cable networks.
both send, recieve and have idle states. think of baseband as ethernet networks CSMA/CD. it either sends, recieves or is idle state on one channel in it's cable. broadband would be like att broadband internet service. it sends, receives and idle on multiple channels within the same cable.
