In signal processing and telecommunication, pulse duration is the interval between the time, during the first transition, that the amplitude of the pulse reaches a specified fraction (level) of its final amplitude, and the time the pulse amplitude drops, on the last transition, to the same level.
What is the unit of pulse duration?
1 ms (millisecond) = 10−3 s. 1 μs (microsecond) = 10−6 s.
What is another term for pulse duration?
In radar, measurement of pulse transmission time in microseconds; that is, the time the radar's transmitter is energized during each cycle. Also called pulse length and pulse width.
