gigahertz [GHz] to hertz [Hz] Converter

Quick Reference

1 gigahertz (GHz) = 1000000000 hertz (Hz)

1 hertz (Hz) = 1.0000e-9 gigahertz (GHz)

How to Convert gigahertz to hertz

1 GHz = 1000000000 Hz
1 Hz = 1.0000e-9 GHz

To convert gigahertz to hertz, multiply the value by 1000000000. To convert hertz back to gigahertz, divide by 1000000000.

Example: convert 10 GHz to Hz:
10 GHz = 10 x 1000000000 = 1.0000e+10 Hz

↔ Convert hertz to gigahertz

gigahertz

Definition: A gigahertz (symbol: GHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one billion (1,000,000,000) hertz (Hz). The hertz, in turn, is the SI unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second.

History/origin: The gigahertz is derived from the hertz, named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic waves. The prefix 'giga-' denotes a factor of 10<sup>9</sup>, adhering to the SI system of units.

Current use: Gigahertz is primarily used to measure the clock speeds of modern computer processors, the frequencies of wireless communication technologies (e.g., 5G cellular networks), and radar systems. It represents very high-frequency signals and operations.

hertz

Definition: Hertz (symbol: Hz) is the SI unit of frequency, defined as the number of cycles per second of a periodic phenomenon. One hertz is equivalent to one cycle or event per second.

History/origin: The hertz is named after Heinrich Hertz, a German physicist who proved the existence of electromagnetic waves in the late 19th century. The unit was adopted as a standard unit for frequency in the 20th century.

Current use: Hertz is widely used across various fields to measure frequency, including radio waves, audio signals, computer processing speeds, alternating current (AC) electricity, and any oscillating or repeating phenomenon. It's a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and technology.

Common pairs of Frequency

gigahertz [GHz] to hertz [Hz] Converter

What is 1 GHz in Hz?
1 gigahertz (GHz) equals 1,000,000,000 Hz, and 1 Hz equals 0.000000001 GHz.
How do I convert gigahertz to hertz?
Multiply by 1,000,000,000: 10 GHz × 1,000,000,000 = 10,000,000,000 Hz. The converter above does it for any value, with the precision you choose.
What is 100 GHz in Hz?
100 GHz = 100,000,000,000 Hz. Common amounts are listed on this page, each with its own step-by-step page.
Is a gigahertz bigger than a hertz?
Yes. 1 GHz = 1,000,000,000 Hz, so the same quantity becomes a larger number when written in Hz.
