Baseband refers to the original frequency range of a transmission signal before it is converted, or modulated, to a different frequency range. For example, an audio signal may have a baseband range from 20 to 20,000 hertz.

What is a baseband frequency range?
In the Fourier Domain, a baseband signal is a signal that occupies the frequency range from 0 Hz up to a certain cutoff. It is called the baseband because it occupies the base, or the lowest range of the spectrum.
What are the types of baseband signals?
The main types of baseband used in MSS are voice (Tel), Fax and Tlx signals on Tel channels, then data, video and image signals.
What is baseband signal and broadband signal?
Baseband transmission is a data transmission technique in which one signal needs the whole bandwidth of the channel to transfer the data. In contrast, broadband transmission is a transmission technology in which many signals with different frequencies send data across a single channel at the same time.
What are the limitations of baseband signal?
A baseband signal can be transmitted over a pair of wires (like in a telephone), coaxial cables, or optical fibers. But a baseband signal cannot be transmitted over a radio link or a satellite because this would require a large antenna to radiate the low-frequency spectrum of the signal.
