A group or division of ten; esp., a period of ten years; a decennium; as, a decade of years or days; a decade of soldiers; the second decade of Livy.
A 10:1 increase or decrease of a variable, usually frequency. A 20dB/decade gain roll-off defines a gain change of 20dB each 10-fold increase or decrease in frequency. (6 dB/octave is equivalent to 20 dB/decade).
A group or assembly of ten units, e.g., a counter which counts to ten or a resistor box which inserts resistance quantities in multiples of powers of 10.
a group of one " Our Father " and ten " Hail Marys "
A 10:1 increase or decrease of a variable, usually frequency. A 20 dB/decade gain roll-off defines a gain change of 20 dB for each 10-fold increase or decrease in frequency. Note that 6dB/octave is equivalent to 20 dB/decade.
A factor of ten. In frequency, humans can hear a range of about 3 decades: 20-200, 200-2000,2000-20,000 Hz.
One decade is equal to ten years.
A measurement equal to the low pass frequency being ten times the high pass frequency, which is relevant in a passive band pass crossover. The difference between 500 Hz and 5000 Hz is equal to 1 decade.
A frequency factor of ten.
a factor of ten; a time period of ten years The decade scaler gave out a pulse after every ten input pulses. There will be two elections each decade.
A tenfold change in value of a quantity. When a quantity becomes ten times less or ten times greater, it has changed a decade. A multiplier of 10.
A bandwidth in which the highest frequency is 10 times bigger than the lowest frequency.
A decade is a set or a group of ten, commonly a period of 10 years in contemporary English, or a period of 10 days in the French revolutionary calendar. The word is derived from the late Latin "decas", from Greek "dekas*, from deka.
