  2. Pulse width - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_width

    The amount of energy that is returned to the radar receiver is a function of the peak energy of the pulse, the pulse width, and the pulse repetition frequency. Increasing the pulse width increases the amount of energy reflected off the target and thereby increases the range at which an object can be detected. Radars measure range based on the ...

  3. Pulse-repetition frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-repetition_frequency

    The pulse-repetition frequency (PRF) is the number of pulses of a repeating signal in a specific time unit. The term is used within a number of technical disciplines, notably radar . In radar, a radio signal of a particular carrier frequency is turned on and off; the term "frequency" refers to the carrier, while the PRF refers to the number of ...

  4. Electric fence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_fence

    Typically, these fences are 2.4 metres (7 ft 10 in) tall and send high voltage electric pulses through the palisade at a frequency of 1 Hz (one pulse per second). Palisade electric fences are used in most countries, particularly where there is little vegetation to short-circuit the fence or where the costs of security personnel are high in ...

  5. Pulse (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_(signal_processing)

    Examples of pulse shapes: (a) rectangular pulse, (b) cosine squared (raised cosine) pulse, (c) Dirac pulse, (d) sinc pulse, (e) Gaussian pulse. A pulse in signal processing is a rapid, transient change in the amplitude of a signal from a baseline value to a higher or lower value, followed by a rapid return to the baseline value. [1]

  6. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal n̂, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  7. Duty cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_cycle

    For example, a signal (10101010) has 50% duty cycle, because the pulse remains high for 1/2 of the period or low for 1/2 of the period. Similarly, for pulse (10001000) the duty cycle will be 25% because the pulse remains high only for 1/4 of the period and remains low for 3/4 of the period. Electrical motors typically use less than a 100% duty ...

    Plot of normalized ⁡ function (i.e. ⁡ ()) with its spectral frequency components.. The unitary Fourier transforms of the rectangular function are [2] ⁡ = ⁡ = ⁡ (), using ordinary frequency f, where is the normalized form [10] of the sinc function and ⁡ = ⁡ (/) / = ⁡ (/), using angular frequency , where is the unnormalized form of the sinc function.

  9. Pulsed radiofrequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_radiofrequency

    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).
