Morphology

subband = band (transparent) = sub + band

The meaning 'a smaller or subordinate band (range of frequencies)' is directly derived from the productive prefix 'sub-' plus 'band'.

Etymology

The word subband is built from sub- meaning 'under' or 'part of', as in subway, and band meaning a 'range' or 'group'. So a subband is a smaller range of frequencies inside a larger band.
