SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the frequency and waveform of repeated impulses using parameters "a" and "b." Specifically, "A" measures approximately 0.8 divisions and "B" measures about 5.5 divisions on an oscilloscope. To determine the frequency in Hertz (Hz), the timebase setting of the oscilloscope is crucial; for instance, with a timebase of 1 ms/div, the frequency of "B" calculates to 181.8 Hz. The conversation also highlights the importance of adhering to forum rules regarding post moderation.

Does anyone know how you can describe the frequency/waveform of this repeated batch of impulses in terms of a and b ? Is there a suitable equation, thanks.

"A" looks to be about .8 divisions, while "B" looks to be about 5.5 divisions. However, that should be obvious to you, so beyond that I have no idea what you're looking for. If you want to know the frequency in Hz, you need to know the timebase. If, for example, the scope was set to 1 ms/div, then the frequency of "B" would be 1/ (5.5 * 1e-3 s) = 181.8 Hz.
