I want to calculate mark space ratio: f=25000Hz,T=4us

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating the mark-space ratio and understanding the definitions of mark time and space time in the context of a waveform with a frequency of 25000 Hz. Participants are exploring the relationship between frequency, period, mark time, and space time.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the calculation of mark time and space time based on the given frequency, with some questioning the provided period of 4 μs. There are attempts to clarify the definitions of mark time and space time, as well as inquiries about the term "mark to phase ratio."

Discussion Status

The discussion is active, with participants providing calculations and questioning the assumptions made regarding the period and terminology. There is no explicit consensus, but several participants are engaging with the definitions and calculations presented.

Contextual Notes

There is confusion regarding the value of 4 μs mentioned in the original question, as well as the definition of "mark to phase ratio." Participants are attempting to reconcile these points with the calculations based on the frequency provided.

<Moderator's note: Moved from a technical forum and therefore no template, which would have helped a lot in this case ...>

i know that mark time is duration in which a pulse is present and space time is a duration is which pulse is not present. my attempt to ques is: f= 25000Hz...> t=1/f=0.4us which means pulse is present for 0.4us. that is mark time is .4us. space time 4-0.4=3.6us s therefore:
Mark:space= 0.4:3.6
=4:36,,,...>1:9 please tell me if i my calculation is faulty. Also what will be mark to Phase ratio

The period of a complete cycle is the reciprocal of frequency.

25000hz leads to 0.4us not 4us so something is missing :P

1/25 KHz = 1/25 ms. 1/25 ms = 0.04 ms.
0.04 ms = 40 μs total period.
Total time = Mark time + Space time

space time 4-0.4=3.6us
Where did the 4 μs value come from?

How is this "mark to phase ratio" defined? It's new terminology to me.

4us is given in question... if i simplify the question then i want to find mark to space and mark to phase ratio given the frequency and time period. i havnt either heard about the letter
 
If a single cycle of the waveform is 40 μs wide, and the mark time is 4 μs wide, then what is the duration of the 'space'?
