A pulse power converter puts out high current power pulses at a repetition rate (PRF) of 100Hz to 4kHz with a duty cycle ranging from 5% to 25%. Hence the peak power of such a converter can be as high as 20 times its average output power.
The three key features of a pulse power converter are
The input power is continuous and corresponds to the average
power of the converter with less than 1% pulsation
The droop in the output voltage is less than 2% of the
average output voltage
The converter is physically and thermally sized to its average power
