Hertz (Hz) The international unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second. Radio frequencies are usually expressed in kilohertz/kHz (1,000 cycles per second) or megahertz/MHz (1,000,000 cycles per second).
HERTZ - A unit of measurement for the number of cycles (such as a wave repeating, or electrical frequency) in one second. Very important in vibration measurement, electronics, and radio communications. Abbreviated as Hz.
Hertz - the derived unit of frequency: 1 Hertz equals 1 cycle per second. Named for Heinrich Rudolph Hertz (1857-1894), a German physicist who studied electromagnetic radiation.
The frequency of an RF signal is usually expressed in terms of a unit called the "hertz" (abbreviated Hz). One Hz equals one cycle per second. One megahertz (MHz) equals one million cycles per second.
Abbreviation for mega Hertz, or a frequency of one million cycles per second.

C-Band Radar: A radar operating in the 3900 to 6200 megahertz range whose wavelength is generally accepted as 5 centimeters.
Frequency The number of recurrences of a periodic phenomenon per unit time. Electromagnetic energy is usually specified in Hertz (Hz), which is a unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second.
A common unit for frequency is cycle per second, formerly abbreviated cps, but superseded by hertz, abbreviated as Hz. The symbol ν is often used for frequency but f is common in engineering. Period is inverse frequency.
The amateur radio operators on the other hand know to tune to 50.150 megahertz on the 6-meter band when a severe weather watch or warning is issued, so communications with the A-B-E office is direct and immediate.
The following examples illustrate the use of these prefixes: 0.000,001 meters = 1 micrometer = 1ūm; 1000 meters = 1 kilometer = 1 km; 1,000,000 cycles per second = 1,000,000 hertz = 1 megahertz =1 MHz..
That portion of the radio frequency spectrum from 30 to 3000 hertz
