PPM to Hz Converter

Use this tool to convert frequency accuracy in PPM or PPB to variation in Hz and calculate the resulting frequency range.

Variation: ±0 Hz
Min Frequency: 0 Hz
Max Frequency: 0 Hz

Conversion Formula:

  • Variation = (Accuracy × Frequency) / Divisor
  • Where Divisor is 1,000,000 for PPM or 1,000,000,000 for PPB
  • Min Frequency = Base Frequency - Variation
  • Max Frequency = Base Frequency + Variation

Calculation Steps:

1. Convert input frequency to Hz

2. Calculate variation using the formula above

3. Calculate min/max by subtracting/adding variation

Reference Points:

  • 2.4 GHz with 100 PPM:
    • Variation: ±240.0 kHz
    • Range: 2.399760 GHz to 2.400240 GHz
  • 10 MHz with 5 PPB:
    • Variation: ±0.050 Hz
    • Range: 9.999999950 MHz to 10.000000050 MHz

This tool helps with:

  • Determining frequency variation based on accuracy values in PPM or PPB.

  • Calculating the minimum and maximum frequency based on a given base frequency.

  • Verifying frequency stability in RF systems.
