What is bandwidth in RF?

Antenna RF bandwidth is sometimes defined as the width in frequency at a level of 6 dB below the peak , which may include a minor lobe which exceeds the -6 dB level. Bandwidth is also a measure of frequencies over which an antenna can receive or radiate electromagnetic energy.

How is bandwidth calculated?

The required bandwidth is related to bit rate and the modulation order M. It is so that the double sided bandwidth w = symbol rate= bit rate rb/ divided by the number of bit per symbol n . The number of bits per symbol is = log 2M with M is the M is the QAM modulation order.
