"Tom MacIntyre"

** Bandwidth in *electronics* is normally quoted in Hz, kHz, MHz, GHz etc.

Octaves are a musical notion, so not used much outside of audio and
acoustics.


An octave is a doubling of the frequency, so it has logarithmic
implications.



** Bandwidth in Hz etc directly indictates the *information* carrying
ability of a channel.

That is why it is used in electronics.
