Is there an equation for coverting Hz (Hertz) into Mbps (mega bits per sec)?
A. Communications speeds when transferring data are usually, but not always, measured in bits per second. A bit is a binary or logical 1 or 0. Data transfer speeds when transferring data, etc. in a computer, such as between memory and a hard disk drive, are often, but not always, measured in bytes per second. A byte of data is a chunk of bits used to represent a character, but not always. There are usually eight bits in a byte, but not always. So, roughly speaking in general and common terms, one byte equals eight bits. Bytes are abbreviated with a capital B and bits are abbreviated with lower-case b, but not always. Microsoft Windows often shows communications speeds in bytes per second. Thus the confusion, which I hoped this unscrambled a little. However, to complicate matters even more… The Hertz is often used as a unit in the measurement of data transfers. A Hertz is one cycle per second. A cycle is a single occurrence of a periodically repeating phenomenon. For example, one revo
