Frequency deviation f is used in Frequency modulation FM radio to describe the maximum instantaneous difference between an FM modulated frequency and the Center frequency nominal carrier frequency . The term is sometimes mistakenly used as synonymous with frequency drift , which is an unintended offset of an oscillator from its nominal frequency. The frequency deviation of a radio is of particular importance in relation to Bandwidth signal processing bandwidth , because less deviation means that more channels can fit into the same amount of frequency spectrum . The FM broadcasting range 88 108 MHz uses a channel spacing of 200 kHz, with a maximum frequency deviation of 75 kHz, leaving a 25 kHz buffer above the highest and below the lowest frequency to reduce interaction with other channels. ref http hyperphysics.phy astr.gsu.edu hbase audio radio.html ref AM broadcasting uses a channel spacing of 10 kHz, but with amplitude modulation frequency deviation is irrelevant.

In telecommunication , the term critical frequency has the following meanings In radio radio propagation propagation by way of the ionosphere , the limiting frequency at or below which a wave component is reflected by, and above which it penetrates through, an ionospheric layer. At vertical incidence, the limiting frequency at or below which incidence, the wave component is reflected by, and above which it penetrates through, an ionospheric layer. Critical Frequency changes with time of day, atmospheric conditions and angle of fire of the radio waves by antenna. The existence of the critical frequency is the result of electron limitation, i.e., the inadequacy of the existing number of free electrons to support Reflection electrical reflection at higher frequencies. In signal processing the critical frequency it is also another name for the Nyquist frequency . References FS1037C MS188 Critical frequency is the highest magnitude of frequency above which the waves penetrates the ionosphere and below which the waves are reflected back from the ionosphere. It is denoted by fc . Its value is not fixed and it depends upon electron density of ionosphere. Category Telecommunications telecomm stub ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2009 In statistics the frequency of an Event probability theory event i is the number n sub i sub of times the event occurred in the experiment or the study. These frequencies are often graphically represented in histogram s. We speak of absolute frequencies , when the counting counts n sub i sub themselves are given and of relative frequencies , when those are Normalizing constant normalized by the total number of events math f i frac n i N frac n i sum i n i . math Taking the f sub i sub for all i and tabulating or plotting them leads to a frequency distribution . The relative frequency density of the occurrence of an event is the score divided by the total number of observations it is often termed the empirical probability . For example If the lower extreme of the class you are measuring the density of is 15 and the upper extreme of the class you are measuring is 30, given a relative frequency of 0.0625, you would calculate the frequency density for this class to be Relative frequency Upper extreme of class &minus lower extreme of class density 0.0625 30 &minus 15 0.0625 15 0.0041666.. That is 0.00417 to 5 decimal places. In biology, relative frequency may refer to the occurrence of a single gene in a specific species that makes up a gene pool. The limiting relative frequency of an event over a long series of trials is the conceptual foundation of the frequency probability frequency interpretation of probability . In this framework, it is assumed that as the length of the series increases without bound, the fraction of the experiments in which we observe the event will stabilize.

In telecommunication , the term frequency frogging has the following meanings The interchanging of the frequencies of carrier wave carrier channels to accomplish specific purposes, such as to prevent feedback and oscillation, to reduce crosstalk , and to correct for a high frequency response slope in the transmission line . In microwave radio relay systems, the alternate use of two frequencies at repeater sites to prevent feedback and oscillation. Note Frequency frogging is accomplished by having modulator s, which are integrated into specially designed repeater s, translate a low frequency group delay group to a high frequency group, and vice versa. A channel communications channel will appear in the low group for one repeater section and will then be translated to the high group for the next section because of frequency frogging. This results in nearly constant attenuation with frequency over two successive repeater sections, and eliminates the need for large slope equalization and adjustments. Singing telecommunication Singing and crosstalk are minimized because the high level output of a repeater is at a different frequency than the low level input to other repeaters. It also diminishes group delay distortion. A repeater that receives on the high band from both direction and sends on the low band is called Hi Lo the other kind Lo Hi.

A frequency counter is an electronics electronic measuring instrument instrument , or Electronic component component of one, that is used for measuring frequency . Frequency is defined as the number of events of a particular sort occurring in a set period of time. Frequency counters usually measure the number .... Image NixieFrequencyCounter.jpg thumb right 220px Systron Donner frequency counter from 1973 with Nixie tube display Operating principle Most frequency counters work by using a counter which accumulates .... If the event being measured repeats itself with sufficient stability and the frequency is considerably ... need some conditioning to make them suitable for counting. Most general purpose frequency counters will include ... pulses. Frequency counters designed for radio frequencies RF are also common and operate on the same principles as lower frequency counters. Often, they have more range before they overflow. For very high Microwaves microwave frequencies, many designs use a high speed prescaler to bring the signal frequency ... take this into account so they still display the correct value. Microwave frequency counters can currently ... is combined in a Frequency mixer mixer with the signal from a local oscillator , producing a signal at the difference frequency, which is low enough to be measured directly. Accuracy The accuracy of a frequency counter is strongly dependent on the stability of its timebase. Highly accurate ... crystal oscillator . For higher accuracy measurements, an external frequency reference tied to a very high stability oscillator such as a GPS disciplined rubidium oscillator may be used. Where the frequency .... It is also possible to measure frequency using the same techniques in software in an embedded system . A Central processing unit CPU for example, can be arranged to measure its own frequency of operation ... the user to send information to the frequency counter and receive information from the frequency ....
