A gigahertz is a frequency unit equal to one billion hertz.
Gigahertz became common as microwave communication, radar, wireless networking, and computing reached billion-cycle frequency ranges.
GHz is used for wireless bands, microwave systems, radar, satellite links, processor clocks, and high-frequency electronics.
A hertz is the SI unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second.
The hertz is named after Heinrich Hertz and became the standard SI unit for frequency.
Hz is used in physics, electronics, radio, audio, signal processing, sampling, timing, and periodic measurements.
Mathematically, hertz (Hz) = gigahertz (GHz) converted with the formula below.
1 GHz = 1.000000e+9 Hz
1 Hz = 1.000000e-9 GHz
Formula: value × 1.000000e+9
Example: 15 GHz = 1.500000e+10 Hz
Precision note: Use the exact relationship 1 GHz = 1,000,000,000 Hz. Preserve only the meaningful precision from the source frequency.
1 GHz = 1.000000e+9 Hz
1 Hz = 1.000000e-9 GHz
