Understanding Voiceband: The Frequency Range for Voice Communications

Voiceband refers to the range of frequencies used for transmitting speech or voice signals in a communication system. It is typically defined as the range of frequencies between 300 Hz and 3400 Hz, which includes the normal range of human speech frequencies.

In telecommunications, voiceband refers to the portion of the frequency spectrum that is allocated for voice communications, as opposed to data or other types of communications. This can include both analog and digital systems, such as traditional landline telephone networks and modern VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) systems.

The term "voiceband" is often used to distinguish voice communications from other types of signals that may be transmitted over the same communication channel, such as data or video. It is also sometimes used to refer to the specific frequency range used for voice communications in a particular system or network.
