Definition
周波 is a technical term meaning 'cycle' specifically in electronics and electrical engineering, referring to one complete cycle of an alternating current (AC) waveform. You'll encounter it in contexts involving frequency (e.g., 50 Hz = 50 周波 per second). Unlike the general English word 'cycle', 周波 is not used for bicycles, circles, or cycles of events — it is strictly an electrical cycles term.
n.
(electronics) cycle
