Unit Definitions
What is a Gigahertz (GHz)?
Gigahertz (GHz) is a unit of frequency equivalent to one billion hertz. It is commonly used to measure clock speeds in processors and radio frequencies.
History
The term Gigahertz emerged as technology advanced, particularly in the late 20th century, as electronic devices began operating at higher frequencies. It became standard in computing and telecommunications as the demand for speed increased.
Current Use
Today, Gigahertz is widely used in various fields, including computing, telecommunications, and broadcasting, to denote the processing speed of CPUs and the frequency of radio signals.

Hertz (Hz) is the fundamental unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), representing one cycle per second. It is used to measure all types of periodic events.
History
Named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, the unit was established in the late 19th century to quantify the frequency of electromagnetic waves. Hertz became the standard unit for frequency in the 20th century.
Current Use
Hertz is used across various disciplines, from physics to engineering, and is essential in measuring sound frequencies, electrical signals, and data transmission rates.
