Frequency Converter

A Frequency Converter is a tool that helps convert frequency values between different units of measurement. Frequency refers to the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time, and it is commonly used in fields like physics, engineering, telecommunications, and audio.

1. Frequency Converter (Online Tool)

This tool allows conversion between various frequency units, such as:

Common Frequency Units:

🔹 Hertz (Hz) – The SI unit of frequency, where 1 Hz is one cycle per second.
🔹 Kilohertz (kHz) – 1 kHz = 1,000 Hz, commonly used in radio frequencies and sound waves.
🔹 Megahertz (MHz) – 1 MHz = 1,000,000 Hz, often used in communications and processing speeds.
🔹 Gigahertz (GHz) – 1 GHz = 1,000,000,000 Hz, used in high-frequency applications like processors and wireless communication.
🔹 Terahertz (THz) – 1 THz = 1,000,000,000,000 Hz, used in advanced physics and communication technologies.
🔹 Kilocycles (kc) – Another term used historically for kilohertz.
🔹 Revolutions per minute (RPM) – Used for rotational speed, indicating how many complete rotations an object makes in one minute.

Conversion Formulas:

• Hertz (Hz) to Kilohertz (kHz):
  1 Hz=0.001 kHz1
• Kilohertz (kHz) to Megahertz (MHz):
  1 kHz=0.001 MHz1
• Megahertz (MHz) to Gigahertz (GHz):
  1 MHz=0.001 GHz1
• Revolutions per minute (RPM) to Hertz (Hz):
  1 RPM=160 Hz1

Example Conversions:

• 1 kHz = 1,000 Hz
• 1 MHz = 1,000,000 Hz
• 1 GHz = 1,000,000,000 Hz
• 100 RPM = 1.67 Hz

2. Frequency Measuring Devices:

🔹 Oscilloscopes – Used to measure and display the frequency of signals.
🔹 Spectrum Analyzers – Measure the frequency distribution of signals, especially in radio frequencies.
🔹 Frequency Counters – Measure the number of cycles per second of an incoming signal.
🔹 Function Generators – Produce signals at specific frequencies for testing and experiments.
