In mathematics, frequency is the reciprocal of time. It is typically associated with waveforms that resonate, for example, in communications, weapons, shields, and cloaks.

Types of frequency Edit

Shield frequency Edit

Resonance frequency Edit

When Constable Odo and Doctor Julian Bashir found that the crew of Deep Space 9 was affected by telepathic alien energy spheres they've managed to find a way to create the natural resonance frequency of the energy spheres so that these would leave their "hosts". (DS9: "Dramatis Personae")

Hierarchy starship phasers work on either a single resonance frequency or on a modulating resonance frequency. (VOY: "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy")

In 2376, Phlox of the Hierarchy promised to give the USS Voyager the resonance frequency of his ship's phasers if The Doctor was given command of the ship as the Emergency Command Hologram. (VOY: "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy")
