What are High-Frequency Gravitational Waves (HFGWs) ? High Frequency Gravity Waves (HFGWs) are gravitational waves (which differ from hydrodynamic gravity waves) that have frequencies of 100 kHz to 100 MHz (Hawking and Israel 1979). As their frequency increases, very high-frequency gravitational waves (VHFGWs) and ultra high-frequency gravitational waves (UHFGWs) are generated. These have frequencies of 100 MHz to 100 GHz and 100+ GHz, respectively. The generic term HFGWs describes all three of these bands. These waves move through the “fabric” of space similar to the way an ocean wave moves through the water. This “fabric,” as Einstein describes it, is called the “space-time continuum” and is four-dimensional. It contains the usual three dimensions of space: for example, (1) east-west (2) north-south) (3) up down, but also includes the dimension of (4) time.
