What Is Duty Cycle?

Answer»

Duty cycle BASICALLY represents the fraction of time that a system is in active STATE or in other words, it is the PERCENTAGE of one period in which a signal is active.

  • For EXAMPLE, if a system transmits a pulse for 1 second and then waits for 9 seconds to transmit next pulse, then we CANS say that system is active (ON) for 1 sec. and inactive (OFF) for next 9 sec. So total time= 10 seconds. Hence duty cycle is 0.1 (ON-time/Total time).
  • For a RADAR system, Duty cycle can be found out by multiplying pulse width and pulse-repetition frequency.

Duty cycle basically represents the fraction of time that a system is in active state or in other words, it is the percentage of one period in which a signal is active.
