A) 286 us
B) 400 us
C) 3 ms
D) 150 us

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pulse repetition time is the time between the start of one pulse and the start of the next. The duty cycle is the ratio of the pulse width to the pulse repetition time. Therefore, the pulse repetition time is the pulse width divided by the duty cycle. In this case, the pulse width is 4 s and the duty cycle is 0.7%, or 0.007. Therefore, the pulse repetition time is 4 s / 0.007 = 571.43 s.
