high frequency
Many cycles per
High frequency describes something occurring often or at rapid intervals.
In physics and electronics, it refers to electromagnetic waves or sound waves with many cycles per second—radio signals, ultrasonic equipment: high-frequency trading, a high-frequency antenna.
The phrase often modifies technical nouns where rate of occurrence matters: high-frequency words appear often in language, high-frequency data gets collected at short intervals.
