"Cycle per second" is a unit of frequency that describes how many cycles of a periodic event occur in one second. This term is often abbreviated as "cps." 1 cps means that one complete cycle of the event occurs in one second. However, the term "cycle per second" is somewhat outdated in modern usage, having largely been replaced by the SI unit "hertz" (Hz), where 1 Hz is equivalent to 1 cycle per second.
