Frequency (Hz)

Waveform
The number of electromagnetic pulses a device delivers each second, measured in Hertz (Hz). Frequency is independent of field strength: a high-frequency signal can still have a low Gauss output, and the reverse. It is one of the main variables that describes how a device operates. PEMF frequencies are often grouped into named ranges borrowed from EEG convention, Delta (0.5 to 4 Hz), Theta (4 to 8 Hz), Alpha (8 to 12 Hz), Beta (12 to 30 Hz), and Gamma (above 30 Hz), which show where a setting's pulse rate falls. Those names label the pulse rate only and do not by themselves indicate a specific effect in the body.
Frequency is the number of cycles each second, measured in HertzA wave repeating over a one-second window. One full cycle is bracketed; the number of cycles that fit in one second is the frequency in Hertz.Frequency = cycles each second (Hz)one cycle1 second5 cycles in 1 second = 5 Hz© 2026 Gauss Labs
Frequency is how many times the field repeats each second, measured in Hertz (Hz). One full up-and-down cycle repeated five times in a second is 5 Hz. More cycles each second means a higher frequency. In a PEMF device it is the pulse rate, how many pulses the coil delivers per second.
