radar duty cycle pulse width prt average power

This page provides information about radar duty cycle calculation, covering methods based on average and peak power, as well as pulse width and PRT (Pulse Repetition Time). Below you’ll find the calculators along with the relevant formulas.

Radar Duty Cycle Calculator based on Average and Peak Powers

Inputs

Outputs

This calculator determines the radar duty cycle using the average and peak power values.

EXAMPLE #1:

  • INPUT: Peak Power = 50 KW, Average Power = 0.1 KW
  • OUTPUT: Radar Duty Cycle = 2 x 10-3

Radar Duty Cycle Calculator based on Pulse Width and PRT or PRF

Inputs

Outputs

This calculator determines the radar duty cycle using pulse width and PRT (Pulse Repetition Time) or PRF (Pulse Repetition Frequency).

EXAMPLE #2:

  • INPUT: Pulse width = 2 µs , PRF = 1 KHz
  • OUTPUT: Duty Cycle = 2 x 10-3

Radar Duty cycle formulas or Equations

The following formulas are used for radar duty cycle calculation:

  • Duty cycle = Average power / Peak Power
  • Duty cycle = Pulse Width / PRT
  • PRT = 1 / PRF
