snv A continuous range of frequencies In communications, the frequency spectrum between two defined limits [MIL-HDBK-1908B]
Band is: (1) The range of frequencies between two defined limits (2) In reference to WATS (Wide Area Telephone Service), one of the five specific geographic areas as defined by the carrier See also Bandwidth
A group of energy levels in a solid state material. Valence band, conduction band
A band is a range of numbers or values within a system of measurement. a new tax band of 20p in the pound on the first £2,000 of taxable income. see also waveband see also wedding band. to put people or things into different groups, usually according to income, value, or price. Type of human social organization consisting of a small number of nuclear families (see family) or related subgroups who are loosely organized for purposes of subsistence or security. Bands may be integrated into a larger community or tribe. They generally exist in sparsely populated areas and possess relatively simple technologies; their habitats range from the desert (Australian Aboriginals) to the African rainforest (Bambuti) to the North American tundra (Kaska). Bands may occasionally coalesce for broader community ceremonies, hunting, or warfare. See also hunting and gathering society; sociocultural evolution. Musical ensemble that generally excludes stringed instruments. Ensembles of woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments originated in 15th-century Germany, taking on a particularly military role; these spread to France, Britain, and eventually the New World. In the 15th-18th centuries, many European towns had town musicians, or waits, who performed especially for ceremonial occasions in wind bands often consisting primarily of shawms and sackbuts (trombones). In the 18th-19th centuries, the English amateur brass band, largely consisting of the many newly developed brass instruments, took on the important nonmilitary function of representing organizations of all kinds. In the U.S., Patrick Gilmore's virtuoso band became famous in the mid-19th century; his greatest successor, John Philip Sousa, bequeathed a repertory of marches that has remained very popular. The "big band," under leaders such as Duke Ellington and Count Basie, was central to American popular music in the 1930s and '40s. In the rock band, unlike most other bands, stringed instruments (electric guitars and electric bass) are paramount
A band is a slice of wavelengths from the electromagnetic spectrum Landsat ETM+ has eight bands which collect radiation from different parts of the electro-magnetic spectrum Of the eight bands, three bands are visible light, one band is panchromatic, three bands are infrared, and one band is thermal infrared
A frequency range of operation, such as the AM and FM bands of commercial radio or the multiple operating bands of a CB transceiver
A range of some physical variable, as of radiation wavelength or frequency A range of very closely spaced electron energy levels in solids, the distribution and nature of which determine the electrical properties of a material
