Pulse: The number of times your heart beats per minute.

Pulse Length Error: A range distortion of a radar return caused by the duration of the pulse. The error is always on the far side of the return and is equal to the range equivalent of one half the pulse length. . . . View Full Definition

Pulse Radar: A pulse radar transmits a sequence of short pulses of rf energy, and estimates range to the target by measuring the time delay in returned pulses.

Pulse Length: The time duration, measured in micro seconds, of a single radar pulse. Also called pulse duration.

Pulse Compression Radar: Pulse-compression radars make use of specific signal processing techniques to provide most of the advantages of extremely narrow pulses widths whilst remaining within the peak power limitati . . . View Full Definition

Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF): The number of radar pulses transmitted each second. The pulse transmission rate is automatically lengthened for longer ranges.

Pulse Repetition Rate (PRR): The number of pulses transmitted per second.

Pulse Doppler Radar: Pulse doppler radars make use of the dopper shift in pulse radar to determine the relative velocity of moving targets.

Pulse Volume: The volume in which the radar data for one range bin are measured. Defined by the width of the radar beam (app. 1°) and half the length of the transmitted pulse. 1 µs pulses are 150 m deep, . . . View Full Definition

Carotid Pulse: Pulse located on the both side of the neck, under the jawbone. Used for taking a persons heart rate.
