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
Angular frequency for the vector quantity angular velocity. One revolution is equal to 2π radians, hence where ω is referred to as the natural frequency (which can sometimes be denoted as ω). As the object oscillates, its acceleration can be calculated by where "x" is displacement from an equilibrium position. Using "ordinary" revolutions-per-second frequency, this equation would be The resonant angular frequency in a series LC circuit equals the square root of the reciprocal of the product of the capacitance ("C" measured in farads) and the inductance of the circuit ("L", with SI unit henry): Adding series resistance (for example, due to
