A pulse per second (PPS or 1PPS) is an electrical signal that has a width of less than one second and a sharply rising or abruptly falling edge that accurately repeats once per second. PPS signals are output by radio beacons, frequency standards , other types of precision oscillators and some GPS receivers.
The thumb should not be used for measuring another person's heart rate, as its strong pulse may interfere with the correct perception of the target pulse. [citation needed] The radial artery is the easiest to use to check the heart rate. However, in emergency situations the most reliable arteries to measure heart rate are carotid arteries.
The PRF is normally much lower than the frequency. For instance, a typical World War II radar like the Type 7 GCI radar had a basic carrier frequency of 209 MHz (209 million cycles per second) and a PRF of 300 or 500 pulses per second. A related measure is the pulse width, the amount of time the transmitter is turned on during each pulse.
This gives the lower of the average rate at 12 breaths per minute. Average resting respiratory rates by age are: [11] [self-published source] [12] birth to 6 weeks: 30–40 breaths per minute; 6 months: 25–40 breaths per minute; 3 years: 20–30 breaths per minute; 6 years: 18–25 breaths per minute; 10 years: 17–23 breaths per minute
These frequencies could be converted to Hz, assuming that the fundamental frequency of cardiac oscillation was the mean heart rate. The fundamental frequency (F) of the first harmonic could be determined from the mean heart rate per second. For example, a heart rate of 74 bpm, suggests 74 cycles/60 or 1.23 Hz.
A heart rate monitor (HRM) is a personal monitoring device that allows one to measure/display heart rate in real time or record the heart rate for later study. It is largely used to gather heart rate data while performing various types of physical exercise. Measuring electrical heart information is referred to as electrocardiography (ECG or EKG).
It is measured in hertz (pulses per second). In computing , the clock rate or clock speed typically refers to the frequency at which the clock generator of a processor can generate pulses , which are used to synchronize the operations of its components, [ 1 ] and is used as an indicator of the processor's speed.
In this example there are 1000 pulses per second (one kilohertz pulse rate) with a gated pulse width of 42 μs. The pulse packet frequency in this example is 27.125 MHz of RF energy. The duty cycle for a pulsed radio frequency is the percent time the RF packet is on, 4.2% for this example ([0.042 ms × 1000 pulses divided by 1000 ms/s] × 100).
