  2. Microsecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsecond

    10 microseconds (μs) – cycle time for frequency 100 kHz, radio wavelength 3 km. 18 microseconds – net amount per year that the length of the day lengthens, largely due to tidal acceleration. [3] 20.8 microseconds – sampling interval for digital audio with 48,000 samples/s. 22.7 microseconds – sampling interval for CD audio (44,100 ...

  3. Nyquist frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist_frequency

    For a given sampling rate (samples per second), the Nyquist frequency (cycles per second) is the frequency whose cycle-length (or period) is twice the interval between samples, thus 0.5 cycle/sample. For example, audio CDs have a sampling rate of 44100 samples/second. At 0.5 cycle/sample, the corresponding Nyquist frequency is 22050 cycles/second .

  4. Pulse-repetition frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-repetition_frequency

    The pulse-repetition frequency (PRF) is the number of pulses of a repeating signal in a specific time unit. The term is used within a number of technical disciplines, notably radar. In radar, a radio signal of a particular carrier frequency is turned on and off; the term "frequency" refers to the carrier, while the PRF refers to the number of ...

    When instead, the frequency range is (A, A+B), for some A > B, it is called bandpass, and a common desire (for various reasons) is to convert it to baseband. One way to do that is frequency-mixing the bandpass function down to the frequency range (0, B). One of the possible reasons is to reduce the Nyquist rate for more efficient storage.

  6. Orders of magnitude (frequency) - Wikipedia

    Acoustic – frequency of G −7, the lowest note sung by the singer with the deepest voice in the world, Tim Storms. His vocal cords vibrate 1 time every 5.29 seconds. 10 0: 1 hertz (Hz) 1 to 1.66 Hz: Approximate frequency of an adult human's resting heart beat: 1 Hz: 60 bpm, common tempo in music 2 Hz: 120 bpm, common tempo in music ~7.83 Hz

  7. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    A pendulum with a period of 2.8 s and a frequency of 0.36 Hz. For cyclical phenomena such as oscillations, waves, or for examples of simple harmonic motion, the term frequency is defined as the number of cycles or repetitions per unit of time.

  8. Radar signal characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics

    Range ambiguity occurs when the time taken for an echo to return from a target is greater than the pulse repetition period (T); if the interval between transmitted pulses is 1000 microseconds, and the return-time of a pulse from a distant target is 1200 microseconds, the apparent distance of the target is only 200 microseconds.

  9. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    The exact modern SI definition is "[The second] is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the cesium frequency, Δν Cs, the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the cesium 133 atom, to be 9 192 631 770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s −1." [1]
