We discuss the relationship between the photon frequency used to produce a continuous variable entangled microwave signal and the signal frequency used for its measurement. We analyze the bandwidth of the continuous variable entangled microwave signal and characterize quantum fluctuations using a quantum sideband representation. The quantum fluctuations of entangled microwave signal follow a true random distribution that is similar to noise. And entangled information is reflected by quantum fluctuations. We conclude that the frequency of generated photons corresponds to the center frequency obtained after performing a Fourier transform on the measured signal, whereas the bandwidth of entangled microwave signal is infinite. Due to the high precision of the measurement from its ultra-wideband behavior, as well as the security afforded by the true randomness and non-localized quantum correlation, these entangled microwaves show significant advantages and potential application value in various fields.
