Definition
- Noun:
- Gigahertz (GHz): A unit of frequency equal to one billion (1,000,000,000) cycles per second. It is commonly used to measure the clock speed of computer processors and the frequency of radio waves.
Usage Examples
- Noun:
- The new processor runs at a speed of 3.5 gc. (The new processor runs at a speed of 3.5 gigahertz.)
- This radio band operates at several gc. (This radio band operates at several gigahertz.)
Advanced Usage
- Technical Specification: Often used in technical contexts to specify the operational frequency of electronic components.
- The device's oscillator is rated for up to 10 gc. (The device's oscillator is rated for up to 10 gigahertz.)
Variants and Related Words
- Gigahertz (GHz): The full term and standard abbreviation for the unit. "Gc" is a less common abbreviation.
- The CPU's clock speed is 2.4 GHz. (The CPU's clock speed is 2.4 gigahertz.)
Synonyms
- GHz: The standard abbreviation for gigahertz.
- Cycles per second (in billions): A descriptive synonym, though not a direct replacement.
Related Phrases
