PULSE-DURATION MODULATIONPULSE-DURATION MODULATION (PDM)—Pulse modulation in which the time duration of the pulses is changed by the modulating signal [12]. | ||
PULSE-FORMING NETWORKPULSE-FORMING NETWORK (PFN)—An lc network that alternately stores and releases energy in an approximately rectangular wave [12] [18]. | ||
PULSE-FREQUENCY MODULATIONPULSE-FREQUENCY MODULATION (PFM)—Pulse modulation in which the modulating voltage varies the repetition rate of a pulse train [12]. | ||
PULSE-POSITION MODULATIONPULSE-POSITION MODULATION (PPM)—Pulse modulation in which the position of the pulses is varied by the modulating voltage [12]. | ||
PULSE-REPETITION FREQUENCYPULSE-REPETITION FREQUENCY (PRF)—The rate, in pulses per second, at which the pulses occur [9] [12] [18]. | ||
PULSE-REPETITION RATEPULSE-REPETITION RATE (PRR)—Same as PULSE-REPETITION FREQUENCY (PRF) [9] [12] [18]. | ||
PULSE-REPETITION TIMEPULSE-REPETITION TIME (PRT)—Interval between the start of one pulse and the start of the next pulse; reciprocal of pulse-repetition frequency [18]. | ||
PULSE-TIME MODULATIONPULSE-TIME MODULATION (PTM)—Pulse modulation that varies one of the time characteristics of a pulse train (pwm, pdm, ppm, or pfm) [12]. | ||
PULSE-WIDTH MODULATIONPULSE-WIDTH MODULATION (PWM)—Pulse modulation in which the duration of the pulses is varied by the modulating voltage [12]. | ||
PULSINGAllowing oscillations to occur for a specific period of time only during selected intervals [12]. | ||
