Pulse Repetition Frequency - Definition

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.

    “It is very hard to give a just definition of love. The most we can say of it is this: that in the soul, it is a desire to rule; in the spirit, it is a sympathy; and in the body, it is but a hidden and subtle desire to possess—after many mysteries—what one loves.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “I’m beginning to think that the proper definition of “Man” is “an animal that writes letters.””
