(Abbreviated GHz; formerly called kilomegacycle.) A unit of frequency equal to one billion (109) cycles per second.

Also known as GHz Definition Gigahertz One GHz represents 1 billion cycles per second or one thousand megahertz. Also called a gigacycle. The speed of microprocessors, called the clock speed, is often [..]

A unit of frequency denoting 109 Hz.

(GHz) measures the speed of a computer. It is a billion hertz (or 'ticks' per second).

Usually abbreviated to GHz. A unit of measurement relating to the Clock Speed of a computer or, put simply, a measurement of how fast its Central Processing Unit (CPU) runs. Typical clock speeds of mo [..]

One billion cycles per second. Signals operating above 3 Ghz are known as microwaves. Above 30 GHz they are know as millimeter waves. As one moves above the millimeter waves, signals begin to take on the characteristics of Iightwaves.

(n) 1,000,000,000 periods per second

A measurement of the frequency of a signal equivalent to one billion cycles per second, or one thousand million cycles per second.

Gigahertz (GHz) s a frequency unit that measures the number of cycles per second. Hertz (Hz) refers to the number of cycles per second with periodic 1-second intervals. A megahertz (MHz) equals 1,000, [..]
