Definition
Pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is the number of times a pulsed activity occurs every second.
This is similar to cycle per second used to describe other types of waveforms.
PRF has a pulse period, which is the length of time between pulses.
PRF is usually associated with pulse spacing, which is the distance that the pulse travels before the next pulse occurs.

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“Perhaps the best definition of progress would be the continuing efforts of men and women to narrow the gap between the convenience of the powers that be and the unwritten charter.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places. The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“... we all know the wag’s definition of a philanthropist: a man whose charity increases directly as the square of the distance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
