Understanding Frequency Units and Conversions

Introduction

This guide explains the different frequency units and how to convert between them.

Common Frequency Units

  • Hertz (Hz):
    The standard unit of frequency, representing one cycle per second.

  • Kilohertz (kHz):
    A unit of frequency equal to 1,000 Hz.

  • Megahertz (MHz):
    A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000 Hz.

  • Gigahertz (GHz):
    A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000,000 Hz.

  • Terahertz (THz):
    A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000,000,000 Hz.

  • Revolutions per minute (RPM):
    A unit of frequency representing the number of complete rotations per minute.

  • Radians per second (rad/s):
    A unit of angular frequency, representing the rate of change of an angle in radians per second.

  • Degrees per second (deg/s):
    A unit of angular frequency, representing the rate of change of an angle in degrees per second.

Frequency Conversions

  • 1 kHz = 1000 Hz
  • 1 MHz = 1000 kHz = 1,000,000 Hz
  • 1 GHz = 1000 MHz = 1,000,000,000 Hz
  • 1 THz = 1000 GHz = 1,000,000,000,000 Hz
  • 1 RPM = 1/60 Hz
  • 1 rad/s = 1/(2*PI) Hz
  • 1 deg/s = 1/360 Hz
