  1. The excursion of a radio wave from the Earth to the ionosphere and back to the Earth. The number of hops indicates the number of reflections from the ionosphere.
  2. A waveform transmitted for the duration of each relocation of the carrier frequency of a frequency-hopped system.
  3. To modify a modulated waveform with constant center frequency so that it frequency hops.
  4. One step, from one router to the next, on the path of a datagram on an Internet Protocol network.
