About Gigahertz (GHz)
A frequency unit equal to 1,000,000,000 Hz. Gigahertz is the standard unit for modern CPU clock speeds (3–5 GHz), Wi-Fi (2.4, 5, 6 GHz), cellular radio (5G mmWave up to 40 GHz), radar, GPS carrier frequencies (~1.5 GHz), and microwave ovens (2.45 GHz). Semiconductor datasheets, RF network-analyzer traces, and consumer wireless-device spec sheets all use GHz as the default frequency unit.
About Hertz (Hz)
The SI unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second (1 Hz = 1 s⁻¹). Named after Heinrich Hertz, who first demonstrated electromagnetic waves in the 1880s. Hertz is the universal unit for any periodic phenomenon: display refresh rates (60 Hz, 120 Hz, 144 Hz), mains power (50 or 60 Hz), heart rate (~1 Hz at rest), sound wave pitch (human hearing: 20 Hz to 20 kHz), and vibration analysis of rotating machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Gigahertz to Hertz?
A frequency unit equal to 1,000,000,000 Hz. To convert Gigahertz to Hertz, multiply by 1.0000e+9. For example, 25 GHz equals 2.500000e+10 Hz.
How many Hertz are in 1 Gigahertz?
There are 1.000000e+9 Hertz in 1 Gigahertz.
How many Gigahertz are in 1 Hertz?
There are 1.000000e-9 Gigahertz in 1 Hertz.
What is the formula for Gigahertz to Hertz conversion?
The formula is: multiply by 1.0000e+9. This means 1 GHz = 1.000000e+9 Hz.
Is a Gigahertz bigger than a Hertz?
No. One Gigahertz is smaller than one Hertz because 1 GHz equals 1.000000e+9 Hz, which is greater than 1.
When do you need to convert between Gigahertz and Hertz?
