Type of Signal |
In baseband transmission, the type of signaling used is digital. |
In broadband transmission, the type of signaling used is analog. |
| 2. |
Direction Type |
Baseband Transmission is bidirectional in nature. |
Broadband Transmission is unidirectional in nature. |
| 3. |
Signal Transmission |
The Signal can be sent in both directions. |
Sending of Signal in one direction only. |
| 4. |
Distance covered by the signal |
