What is meant by the term pulse width?

The pulse width is a measure of the elapsed time between the leading and trailing edges of a single pulse of energy. The measure is typically used with electrical signals and is widely used in the fields of radar and power supplies.

How do you calculate pulse bandwidth?

The pulse is calculated using the formula f(t)=exp(-(t-t0)^2/(2dt^2)cos(2*PI*f0*(t-t0)), where f0 is the carrier frequency, t0=1/(2*PI*df) is the pulse half-width and df is the half-bandwidth.
