Questions tagged [pulse]
A pulse in signal processing is a rapid, transient change in the amplitude of a signal from a baseline value to a higher or lower value, followed by a rapid return to the baseline value. There are many examples of a pulse function including: Step/rectangular pulse, impulse/dirac pulse, triangular pulse, sawtooth pulse, sinc pulse, Gaussian pulse, etc.

Can a stone resistor with low values withstand 240 A pulsed current (1 Hz, 200 μs, 24 V)?
Pretty much as in the caption. I'm building a high pulse current system for a PHD project, using the capacitor bank discharge method to get the current I want. The main problem right now is a resistor ...

How synchronous are two GNSS receivers?
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm dealing with PPS (pulse per second) signals at the end of the day. I am working with multiple GNSS receivers (from different manufacturers,...

Measuring “cooking event” on Induction Range with Resistive Oven [closed]
I’m looking to detect cooking activity on a range that has both induction burners using PWM, and resistive heaters in the oven. The basic function is to turn on a fan when there’s a cooking event on ...

Optimizing Pulse Width Expansion (7 ns → 250 ns to 1 µs) with Minimal Components
I need to extend a short TTL pulse (~7 ns) to a wider pulse in the range of 250 ns to 1 µs while keeping the component count and footprint as low as possible. I’ve considered general approaches like ...

Circuit to convert pulse peak voltage level to DC voltage
I have a pulse train with a frequency of 1Khz. Its duty cycle can be anywhere between 5% and 95%. But the voltage level of the pulse can also change and that is the information I would like to convert ...
