  2. Orders of magnitude (frequency) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude...

    The following list illustrates various frequencies, measured in hertz, according to decade in the order of their magnitudes, with the negative decades illustrated by events and positive decades by acoustic or electromagnetic uses. Factor. (Hz) Multiple. Value. Item. 10 −18. 1 attohertz (aHz) ~2.2978 aHz.

  3. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    Frequency is an important parameter used in science and engineering to specify the rate of oscillatory and vibratory phenomena, such as mechanical vibrations, audio signals (sound), radio waves, and light. For example, if a heart beats at a frequency of 120 times per minute (2 hertz), the period—the interval between beats—is half a second ...

  4. International distress frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_distress...

    121.5 MHz is the civilian aircraft emergency frequency or International Air Distress frequency. It is used by some civilian emergency locator beacons; however, the Cospas-Sarsat system no longer monitors the frequency. 243 MHz for NATO military aircraft emergency frequencies. 406 MHz to 406.1 MHz is used by the Cospas-Sarsat international ...

  5. Spectrum analyzer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_analyzer

    This can either be with a specific resolution bandwidth (e.g. −120 dBm @1 kHz RBW), or normalized to 1 Hz (usually in dBm/Hz) e.g. −150 dBm(Hz).This is also called the sensitivity of the spectrum analyzer. If a signal level equal to the average noise level is fed there will be a 3 dB display.

  6. Hertz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertz

    s −1. The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), often described as being equivalent to one event (or cycle) per second. [1][a] The hertz is an SI derived unit whose formal expression in terms of SI base units is s −1, meaning that one hertz is one per second or the reciprocal of one second. [2]

  7. Utility frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_frequency

    The waveform of 230 V and 50 Hz compared with 120 V and 60 Hz. The utility frequency, (power) line frequency (American English) or mains frequency (British English) is the nominal frequency of the oscillations of alternating current (AC) in a wide area synchronous grid transmitted from a power station to the end-user.

  9. Radio spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_spectrum

    Radio bands. The radio spectrum is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum with frequencies from 3 Hz to 3,000 GHz (3 THz). Electromagnetic waves in this frequency range, called radio waves, are widely used in modern technology, particularly in telecommunication. To prevent interference between different users, the generation and transmission ...
