frequency 
The number of similar shapes in a communications or electrical path in a unit of time. For 
example, the number of sine waves moving past a fixed point in a second. 
 
frequency agile 
The ability to change from one frequency to another without changing components. 
 
frequency response 
The effect that changing the frequency has on the magnitude of a signal. 
 
frequency stability 
A measure of the departure from nominal frequency value of a signal, with respect to time, 
temperature, or other influence. 
 
ft-lb 
foot-pound. A measure of torque defined by the application of one pound of force on a lever 
at a point on the lever that is one foot from the pivot point. 
 
gain 
A measure of the increase in signal level, relative to a reference, in an amplifier. Usually 
expressed in decibels. 
 
Hertz 
A unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second. 
 
HFC 
hybrid fiber/coaxial. A network that uses a combination of fiber optics and coaxial cable to 
transport signals from one place to another. A broadband network using standard cable 
television transmission components, such as optical transmitters and receivers, coaxial cable, 
amplifiers, and power supplies. The broadband output stream is transmitted as an optical 
signal, over the high-speed, fiber optic transmission lines to local service areas where it is 
split, converted to electrical RF signals, and distributed to set-tops over coaxial cable. 
 
HMS 
hybrid management sublayer.  A set of ANSI/SCTE standards specifying an element 
management system for hybrid fiber/coaxial networks.  The standards establish key 
protocols for the communication of status monitoring information between elements in the 
network.
