Cycles Per Degree Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Cycles Per Degree (CPD) is:

\[ CPD = \frac{CPS}{DPS} \]

Where:

\( CPD \) is the Cycles Per Degree.
\( CPS \) is the Cycles Per Second.
\( DPS \) is the Degrees Per Second.

What is Cycles Per Degree?

Cycles per degree is a measure used in various fields such as signal processing, engineering, and physics to describe the number of cycles of a waveform that occur within one degree of rotation or angular measurement. It is a way to quantify the frequency of oscillations relative to angular displacement, providing insights into the behavior and characteristics of rotating systems or waveforms.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Cycles Per Second (CPS): 100
Degrees Per Second (DPS): 20

Using the formula to calculate the Cycles Per Degree:

\[ CPD = \frac{100}{20} = 5 \]

This means that the cycles per degree for this example is 5.
