Baseband vs. Broadband Transmission Explained

Baseband transmission uses digital signaling and is bidirectional. It can transmit signals over short distances and uses repeaters, time division multiplexing, and Manchester encoding. It is used with bus topologies and can transfer one data stream at a time. Broadband transmission uses analog signaling and is unidirectional, transmitting over long distances using frequency division multiplexing and only PSK encoding. It can be used with bus or tree topologies and transfers multiple signals simultaneously in one direction.
