RF Average Power to Peak Power Calculator

Calculate Peak Power



Formula

The formula to calculate the Peak Power from Average Power is:

\[ \text{Pp} = \frac{\text{Pavg}}{\text{DC}} \]

What is RF Average Power and Peak Power?

Peak power is the maximum power a pulsing system reaches during a pulse, while average power is the average output over time. Understanding these values is crucial for designing and analyzing RF systems.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Pp} = \frac{50}{0.75} \approx 66.67 \, \text{W} \]

The Peak Power (Pp) is approximately 66.67 W.
