Detailed explanation-1: -A baseband signal or lowpass signal is a signal that can include frequencies that are very near zero, by comparison with its highest frequency (for example, a sound waveform can be considered as a baseband signal, whereas a radio signal or any other modulated signal is not).
Detailed explanation-2: -The baseband transmission uses digital signaling for transmitting the signals. The broadband transmission uses analog signaling for transmitting analog signals. The other key difference between broadband transmission and baseband transmission is the range of the signal.
Detailed explanation-3: -In baseband modulation the information is formated so that it is represented by digital symbols. Then pulse waveforms are assigned that represent these symbols. These waveform can then be transmitted over a cable. Baseband signals are not appropriate for propagation through many transmission media.
