Pulse repetition frequency Pulse repetition frequency The pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is the number of pulses of a repeating signal in a specific time unit, normally measured in pulses per second. The term is used within a number of technical disciplines, notably radar. In radar, a radio signal of a particular carrier frequency is turned on and off; the term "frequency" refers to the carrier, while the PRF refers to the number of switches. Both are measured in terms of cycle per second, or hertz. The PRF is normally much lower than the frequency. For instance, a typical World War II radar like
Mole (unit) of "exactly" 12 g. However, on 16 November 2018, after a meeting of scientists from more than 60 countries at the General Conference on Weights and Measures in Versailles, France, organised by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), all SI Units will be defined as constants. This means that any SI Unit, including the mole, will not be defined using physical objects but rather they will be defined by constants that are, in their nature, exact. Such changes will officially come into effect on 20 May 2019. For example, one mole of hydrogen atoms, will be defined as
