🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between peak power, duty cycle, and average power in RADAR systems • How to compute duty cycle from pulse width and pulse repetition frequency (PRF) • Unit conversions between microseconds, seconds, kilowatts, and watts

💭 Think About

• How do you calculate the duty cycle when you know the PRF and pulse width? Write that as a simple formula first. • Once you know the duty cycle, how is average power related to peak power? Think in terms of "how long the transmitter is actually on." • Convert all values to basic SI units (seconds and watts) before doing the calculation. What happens to the magnitude of the final answer?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you convert 1 microsecond correctly into seconds before using it in any formula. • Check that your PRF is in Hz (pulses per second) and that you multiply, not divide, when finding the duty cycle. • After computing the average power, compare your number carefully to the answer choices and check if it matches exactly or if it might suggest choosing "None of these".
