What Is Duty Cycle?

The duty cycle is an important parameter in RF and microwave systems, as explained in the video below. It represents the ratio of the pulse's "on" time to the total duration of the signal. This measurement is crucial in understanding the behavior of pulsed signals, particularly in applications such as radar and telecommunications. The duty cycle serves as a fundamental metric in the design and analysis of RF and microwave systems, enabling accurate assessment and effective utilization of pulsed signals.
