Half duplex means that 1 channel is used for communication. Sending data must be synchronized with receiving data and it's possible that both ends of the communication try to send data at the same time causing a collision. The aggregate bandwidth of a 100 Mbps link is 100 Mbps. This is half of what full-duplex provides.
