 gigahertz - a Whatis.com definition - see also: GHz   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
The gigahertz, abbreviated GHz, is a unit of alternating current (AC) or electromagnetic (EM) wave frequency equal to one thousand million hertz (1,000,000,000 Hz).
The gigahertz is used as an indicator of the frequency of ultra-high-frequency (UHF) and microwave EM signals and also, in some computers, to express microprocessor clock speed.
An EM signal having a frequency of 1 GHz has a wavelength of 300 millimeters, or a little less than a foot.

It is developing electrical metrology in coaxial transmission lines to 110 gigahertz and on-wafer metrology to 400 gigahertz for microwave signal and signal source characterization, wireless systems, high-speed microprocessors, and high-speed nanocircuits and interconnects, and the telecommunications industry.
Characterizing signal integrity in microprocessors requires at least 10 gigahertz of calibrated measurement bandwidth on structures fabricated on a nanoscale.
Because the speed of the devices is often linked to size, it is important to develop this high-speed metrology at both conventional IC and nanoscale dimensions and at both conventional and high impedances.

 With 2 Chips, the Gigahertz Decade Begins - www.ezboard.com
Like the four-minute mile or the arrival of the year 2000, the milestone is mainly symbolic, and life will pretty much go on as normal, which is to say faster and faster.
The arrival of the first mass-produced gigahertz chips is significant mainly for bragging rights among computer engineers and power-hungry consumers who want the extra speed for manipulating graphics and disintegrating their opponents in three-dimensional shoot-'em-up games.
As is almost always the case when newer and faster processors are introduced, the real significance of the arrival of gigahertz chips is that computer makers will now cut prices on existing PC's to make room for the new speed demons at the high end.

The world's largest maker of chips used to power computers said that based on robust yields -- or the success it was having in manufacturing new chips with few defects -- the company plans to accelerate the timing of the release of its 2 gigahertz chip to sometime during the current third quarter.
The new Pentium 4 chips running at 1.6 gigahertz and 1.8 gigahertz, or billions of cycles per second, are designed to power the world's fastest desktop personal computers.
The Pentium 4 1.8 gigahertz chip is priced at $562 in quantities of 1,000, while the 1.6 gigahertz version is priced at $294, again in quantities of 1,000.

 Power Mac Bests the Gigahertz PCs
During the past 18 months, while top PC processor speeds have jumped from 450 megahertz to a gigahertz, the PowerPC chip used in Apple Macintoshes has climbed only from 400 to 500 megahertz.
In this configuration, it handily outperformed one of the gigahertz PCs, a Hewlett-Packard 1G with Intel Pentium III and 128 megabytes of RAM.
The Mac beat the Pavilion on six of the seven tests; its total time for the whole sequence was 118 seconds, nearly a third faster than the 185 seconds the Pavilion required.

 Caltech Press Release, 1/29/2003, Dr. Michael Roukes
Nanoscientists have achieved a milestone in their burgeoning field by creating a device that vibrates a billion times per second, or at one gigahertz (1 GHz).
Though a good home computer these days can have a speed of one gigahertz or more, the quest to construct a mechanical device that can operate at such speeds has required multiple breakthroughs in manufacturing technology.
In the case of the Roukes group's new demonstration, the use of silicon carbide epilayers to control layer thickness to atomic dimensions and a balanced high-frequency technique for sensing motion that effectively transfers signals to macroscale circuitry have been crucial to success.

Apple said it expects to ship the 2.5 gigahertz models in July, while versions with two 1.8 gigahertz microprocessors and two 2.0 gigahertz processors are now available.
The 2.5 gigahertz chip is one that Apple is currently selling in a computer server it launched a few months ago.
The company, which earlier this year said it was having problems with its supply of chips from IBM, said it believes it has gotten past those supply challenges and will be able to meet expectations for the new G5.

 Radio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Because of their varying characteristics, radio waves of different lengths are employed for different purposes but are usually identified by their frequency (cycles per second).
In honor of the German radio pioneer Heinrich Hertz, his name has been given to the cycle per second (hertz, Hz); 1 kilohertz (kHz) is 1000 cycles per sec, 1 megahertz (MHz) is 1 million cycles per sec, and 1 gigahertz (GHz) is 1 billion cycles per sec.
The higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength, since all the waves travel at the speed of light (about 186,000 mi / 300,000 km per second).

 Designing for a Gigahertz
The goal of the guTS project was to demonstrate that circuit techniques, and circuit-centric design, could significantly increase the performance of microprocessors, thus providing headroom for future performance growth beyond contributions from microarchitecture and CMOS technology.
The focus of this article is on the circuit-centric design approach that enabled the GigaHertz result.
We explain how design was done "vertically" rather than "horizontally", creating room for the "tall" designer that can operate across the boundaries of microarchitecture, logic-, circuit-, and physical design.

 Gigahertz Mac maker Xtrem backtracks on speed promise | The Register
Xtrem, the Swedish Mac upgrade maker that whipped up a whirlwind of controversy last summer with a plan to ship a gigahertz Mac, has been forced to scale back its scheme.
The 7450, on the other hand, is designed to support much higher clock speeds than that, so it makes sense to use that as the basis for the gigahertz machine.
Xtrem is at least being smart in that it is obviously going for the 533MHz version of the chip - doubling up to 1.066GHz - rather than the decidedly difficult to get hold of 733MHz part.
