Gigahertz to Cycles per Minute Converter

A gigahertz (GHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one billion hertz (10⁹ Hz). It represents very high frequencies commonly found in microwave radiation, computer processors, and modern wireless communications.

The gigahertz became prominent with the development of microwave technology and high-speed electronics in the mid-20th century. It gained widespread recognition with computer processor speeds and became a household term with the advancement of personal computers and wireless technology.

Gigahertz is extensively used in computer processor specifications, wireless communications (WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular), microwave technology, and radar systems. It's standard for CPU clock speeds, wireless frequency bands, and microwave oven operating frequencies.

Cycles per minute (cpm) is a unit of frequency representing the number of complete cycles of a periodic phenomenon occurring in one minute. It's used for moderate-frequency periodic processes and mechanical systems.

Cycles per minute developed for describing periodic processes that occur at moderate rates, particularly in mechanical systems, industrial processes, and biological applications where minute-based measurements were more practical than second-based measurements.

CPM is used in industrial process control, mechanical systems, biological monitoring, and applications where periodic events occur at moderate rates. It's found in process equipment specifications, biological rhythm measurements, and industrial automation systems.
