  2. Spectral efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_efficiency

    Spectral efficiency, spectrum efficiency or bandwidth efficiency refers to the information rate that can be transmitted over a given bandwidth in a specific communication system. It is a measure of how efficiently a limited frequency spectrum is utilized by the physical layer protocol, and sometimes by the medium access control (the channel ...

  3. Hertz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertz

    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 ]

  4. Rotational frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_frequency

    Classical mechanics. Rotational frequency, also known as rotational speed or rate of rotation (symbols ν, lowercase Greek nu, and also n), is the frequency of rotation of an object around an axis. Its SI unit is the reciprocal seconds (s −1); other common units of measurement include the hertz (Hz), cycles per second (cps), and revolutions ...

    His vocal cords vibrate 1 time every 5.29 seconds. 10 0: 1 hertz (Hz) 1 to 1.66 Hz: Approximate frequency of an adult human's resting heart beat: 1 Hz: 60 bpm, common tempo in music 2 Hz: 120 bpm, common tempo in music ~7.83 Hz: Fundamental frequency of the Schumann resonances: 10 1: 10 hertz 10 Hz

  6. Fundamental frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_frequency

    The fundamental frequency, often referred to simply as the fundamental (abbreviated as f 0), is defined as the lowest frequency of a periodic waveform. [1] In music, the fundamental is the musical pitch of a note that is perceived as the lowest partial present. In terms of a superposition of sinusoids, the fundamental frequency is the lowest ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Mel scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_scale

    Mel scale. The mel scale (after the word melody) [1] is a perceptual scale of pitches judged by listeners to be equal in distance from one another. The reference point between this scale and normal frequency measurement is defined by assigning a perceptual pitch of 1000 mels to a 1000 Hz tone, 40 dB above the listener's threshold.

  9. Strouhal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strouhal_number

    For spheres in uniform flow in the Reynolds number range of 8×10 2 < Re < 2×10 5 there co-exist two values of the Strouhal number. The lower frequency is attributed to the large-scale instability of the wake, is independent of the Reynolds number Re and is approximately equal to 0.2. The higher-frequency Strouhal number is caused by small ...
