How is frequency typically written?

Frequency is typically represented in various units depending on the range of the frequency being discussed. The most common units for frequency are kilohertz (kHz), megahertz (MHz), and gigahertz (GHz).

Gigahertz, abbreviated as GHz, represents one billion hertz and is commonly used for frequencies in the range of modern electronics, such as computer processors and wireless communications. This makes it a widely recognized unit within the realm of radar operation and telecommunications.

The other units, while relevant, are used less frequently in general discussions about frequency. Kilohertz is suitable for lower-frequency applications, such as audio signals, while megahertz describes frequencies in the range of radio frequencies. PicoHertz, on the other hand, is an extremely small unit that is rarely used in practical applications, as it represents one trillionth of a hertz and is mostly relevant in scientific measurements of extremely low-frequency phenomena. Thus, gigahertz stands out as a standard measurement in the context of modern technology and radar operations.
