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 related to Risetime?

Historically, oscilloscope frequency response tended to approximately follow the rule: Bandwidth x risetime = 0.35 . This corresponds to a 1- or 2-pole filter roll-off in the frequency domain. Today, at the high end, most real-time digital oscilloscopes more closely follow this rule: Bandwidth x rise time = 0.45.
