Unit Definitions
What is a Gigahertz (GHz)?
Gigahertz (GHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one billion hertz.
History
The term gigahertz became common in the late 20th century as technologies like computers and telecommunications advanced. It is often used to describe the clock speed of processors and frequency bands for wireless communication.
Current Use
Today, GHz is widely used in various technological fields, including computing, telecommunications, and broadcasting.
What is a Kilohertz (kHz)?
Kilohertz (kHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one thousand hertz.
History
Kilohertz emerged in the 20th century when radio frequencies became mainstream. It was primarily used in early radio broadcasts and sound recording.
Current Use
Currently, kHz is used in audio technology, telecommunications, and various engineering applications to describe frequencies in the range of thousands of cycles per second.
