Guard band

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guard band has several meanings.

In radio, a guard band is a narrow part of the radio spectrum between radio bands, for the purpose of preventing interference.

It is a narrow frequency range used to separate two wider frequency ranges to ensure that both can transmit simultaneously without interfering each other. It is used in TDM/TDMA/FDM/FDMA. It may be used in both wired or wireless communications, so that adjacent frequency bands on the same media can avoid interference.

In sound, video, or data recording, it refers to the unrecorded space between tracks on magnetic tape or other magnetic media which prevents the signal on adjacent tracks from interferring with each other.

In the realm of product quality control, it is the amount that minimum product specifications are increased to ensure that even with measurement uncertainty the product meets the minimum specifications with a specified level of confidence. Industry Library Citation

In computer graphics, the guard band is a virtual area of the screen bordering the real screen to which any rendering is ignored, used to simplify clipping. This technique is called guard band clipping.
