Megahertz (MHz)
Definition
A megahertz (MHz) is a unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000 hertz (one million cycles per second).
History
The megahertz became prominent with the rise of FM radio in the mid-20th century and early computer processors. The first personal computer processors operated at single-digit MHz speeds in the 1970s.
Current use
Megahertz is used for FM radio frequencies, early-generation processor speeds, some wireless communication bands, and medical ultrasound equipment. It remains a standard unit in RF engineering.
Gigahertz (GHz)
Definition
A gigahertz (GHz) is a unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000,000 hertz (one billion cycles per second).
History
The gigahertz became common in the late 1990s and early 2000s as computer processor clock speeds surpassed 1 GHz. It also gained importance with the expansion of microwave and satellite communication systems.
Current use
Gigahertz is the standard unit for modern computer processor speeds, Wi-Fi frequencies (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands), 5G cellular networks, radar systems, and satellite communications.
